Abstract
Rhinos are part of the charismatic megafauna of Africa and ar e valued in multiple ways by African and global stakeholders. Over the past three decades, continental, regional and national conservation efforts have produced successive rhino conservation action plans and management plans. The African Rhino Specialist Group often supported these plans under the auspices of the IUCN Species Survival Commission. This framework for African rhino conservation builds upon past plans and presents fresh approaches to rhino conservation, integrating new insights with proven practices. This framework is an adaptive, living framework seeking to ensure that societal expectations are accommodated, particularly those of local peoples.
