Dwindling numbers

In an article on Gawker about the forced transfer of black rhinoceros across vast distances in South Africa to protect them from poachers, I read this awful tidbit of news:

It's a bleak landscape for the mighty black rhinoceros. The WWF announced this week that 353 of the endangered mammals, whose horn is incorrectly thought to have cancer-curing powers, have been poached this year alone, already exceeding the number poached in 2010. Current estimates put the total population of the species at 4,240.

4,240 left in the wild.  That's totally fraked up!!
