On July 7, 2006 the World Conservation Union announced that one of the four subspecies, the West African Black Rhinoceros (longpipes) has been tentatively declared as extinct - which means that no one has reported seeing one since the above date.

There are still various low numbers of the other 3 subspecies but are all still in great danger of extinction and of course are all considered endangered.
