National GeographicDesert-adapted black rhinos roam freely across the harsh plains of Namibia, with the country now protecting the world's largest population of this subspecies thanks to conservation efforts led by local communities. However, poaching remains an ever-present threat to these critically endangered creatures. In Etosha National Park—where this rhino was filmed—game reserves monitor the rhinos 24/7, using armed guards, drones, and high-tech equipment to minimize the risk they face from poachers.
