Hunting
European hunters were responsible for the starting of less Rhinos. Finding rhinos are easy prey, there are common accounts of killing five or six in a day, to be eaten or simply for amusement.

Poaching Poaching of African rhinos for their horns escalated from the 1970s, and remains the greatest threat to black rhinos. People poached the Rhinos mostly for money.
Habitat loss
Habitat changes have also contributed to population declines, although this is a secondary threat after poaching. In southern Zimbabwe, privately owned rhino conservancies have been invaded by landless people, reducing safe habitat for two large black rhino populations and increasing the risk of poaching and snaring.
