Population Viability Analysis of Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis michaeli) in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya

TL;DR: Simulation models identified crucial anthropogenic parameters that are essential for the successful development of conservation actions of this species in Lake Nakuru National Park under different scenarios and showed that small increases in habitat loss and population harvesting had drastic effects on population decline with a 100% probability of extinction.
