The population of Rhino Foods is 130.
Because by saving one rhino, it can then go on to reproduce, and increase the rhino population. Also, saving one rhino stops the rhino population going down by at least one!

There are an estimated 19,409 white rhinos and 1,752 black rhinos in South Africa. Since 1970 poachers have killed 90% of the rhino population in South Africa.
INTRODUCTION The rhinoceros or rhino is one of the world's most magnificent creatures with its almost Prehistoric appearance. Sadly the five species of rhino are also among the group of animals most threatened with extinction (endangered). Three of these rhino species are found in Asia: the Indian or one-horned rhino (population about 1 500), the Sumatran (population about 200) and the Javan (population about 50). The three Asian rhino species are well protected and their numbers have remained steady. The other two rhino are found here in Africa: the white rhino (numbering about 4 500 - 5 000) and the black rhino (population about 3 000). The population of the black rhino (Diceros bicornis) is steadily declining. From a total number of at least 100 000 in 1960, spread across most of Africa south of the Sahara Desert, there are today fewer than 3 500 black rhino left. Most of these survive in southern African countries where there are good protection measures e.g. South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. However poachers are managing to kill rhino in all three of these countries, despite protection. Numbers in South Africa have increased from about 100 to almost 700 since 1930.
There are many extinct species of rhino. However, there are five species of rhinos that are still alive on Earth. They are the black rhino, white rhino, Sumatran rhino, Indian rhino, and Javan rhino.
The Black Rhino is currently considered to be just over 4,000 individuals. Three subspecies are listed by the IUCN Red List as "critically endangered", with one, the Western Black Rhino possibly extinct. For more details, see sites listed below.
Part of the reason is the demand in Asia, where the horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine. A kilogram of rhino horn now goes for $60,000 on the black market. That's $1610 an ounce for the rhino horn. The rate of their decline is truly astounding: in the decade of the 1970s alone, half the world's rhino population disappeared. Today, less than 15 per cent of the 1970 population remains an estimated 10,000 to 11,000 worldwide.
There is no such thing as a red rhino. There are five rhino species alive today. They are the white rhino, black rhino, Indian rhino, Sumatran rhino, and Javan rhino.
