As of 2025, there are approximately 27,000 wild rhinos left worldwide across all five species. This total includes:

• White rhinos: about 17,464 individuals
• Black rhinos: around 6,421 individuals
• Greater one-horned rhinos: about 4,018 individuals
• Javan rhinos: estimated 50 to 76 individuals, with recent concerns about poaching reducing numbers to around 50
• Sumatran rhinos: between 34 and 47 individuals, critically endangered and fragmented in small populations

The Northern white rhino is functionally extinct with only two females remaining under protection and no natural reproduction possible

. The main threats to rhinos remain poaching and habitat loss, but conservation efforts have helped stabilize or increase populations in some species, particularly the black and white rhinos in Africa. The Asian species, especially the Javan and Sumatran rhinos, remain critically endangered with very small populations confined to limited areas
