Martin Harvey/Getty Images(LONDON) African rhino populations are increasing despite poaching and habitat loss, new figures from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) show.
The new figures, released Thursday, highlight that protection and biological management initiatives across the continent have resulted in black rhino populations rising by 4.2% to a population of 6,487, and white rhino populations rising by 5.6% to a population of 16,803.
It is the first time since 2012 that there has been an increase in the white rhino population, the species classified as near threatened on the IUCN s Red List of threatened species.
"With this good news, we can take a sigh of relief for the first time in a decade," said Dr. Michael Knight, chair of the IUCN s Rhino Specialist Group (AfRSG). "However, it is imperative to further consolidate and build upon this positive development and not drop our guard."
