query: when was the west african rhino declared extinct

pos: Western black rhinoceros Western black rhinoceros The western black rhinoceros ("Diceros bicornis longipes") or West African black rhinoceros was a subspecies of the black rhinoceros, declared extinct by the IUCN in 2011. The western black rhinoceros was believed to have been genetically different from other rhino subspecies. It was once widespread in the savanna of sub-Saharan Africa, but its numbers declined due to poaching. The western black rhinoceros resided primarily in Cameroon, but surveys since 2006 have failed to locate any individuals. This subspecies was named "Diceros bicornis longipes" by Ludwig Zukowsky in 1949. The word “"longipes"” is of Latin origin, combining "longus"

pos: Western black rhinoceros population was the highest out of all the rhino species at almost 850,000 individuals. There was a 96% population decline in black rhinos, including the western black rhino, between 1970 and 1992. Widespread poaching is concluded to be partly responsible for bringing the species close to extinction, along with farmers killing rhinos to defend their crops in areas close to rhino territories, and trophy hunting. By 1995 the number of western black rhinos had dropped to 2,500 individuals. The sub-species was declared officially extinct in 2011, with its last sighting reported in 2006 in Cameroon's Northern Province. In 2006, for

This is a major flaw because predation should be considered when attributing cause to the poor performance of the black rhinoceros population. In 2002 only ten western black rhinos remained in Cameroon, and in 2006 intensive surveys across its putative range failed to locate any, leading to fears that this subspecies had become extinct. In 2011 the IUCN declared the western black rhino extinct. Under CITES Appendix I all international commercial trade of the black
