Africa Threatened Map 1990

Africa began the 1970s with nearly 70,000 Black Rhinos and ended the 1980s with about 3,000. Their near extinction is but one illustration of the serious threats to African fauna detailed in this colorful and educational map. Published in December 1990 to accompany a detailed map of the continent and three articles including "A Gathering of Waters and Wildlife," this map is a must-have for animal lovers and those interested in the conservation of wildlife.
