Africa continues to lose its self-proclaimed title as the cradle of biodiverse ecosystems which house the mighty African elephant and rhinoceros (otherwise known as the continental herd). Wildlands have been fragmented and forests cleared continuously and at very rapid rates. Rising rates of affluence around the world, especially in Asia has led to the intensity of the black market of the rhino and elephant ivory market which has seen the deterioration of this vast and much needed component of the ecosystem
My interest in the white rhino started about three years ago when I was doing a research paper about the African elephant. I came across the white rhino as I was searching for the fellow species that were being threatened by hunters in Africa.

The wild populations of rhinoceroses are quite successful at reproducing and are increasing their population numbers, but the captive population of Southern White Rhinoceros is not sustaining itself (Berkeley et al., 1997; Carlstead & Brown, 2005).

Today, there are about sixty-six known species that are either endangered or vulnerable to extinction. Due to human activity, we are now undergoing a worldwide devastation

Chapter 1 NAME The Market Introduction. The problems in this chapter examine some variations on the apartment market described in the text. In most of the problems we work with the true demand curve constructed from the reservation prices of the consumers rather than the “smoothed” demand curve that we used in the text.
