Are white rhinos critically endangered?

they are one of the most endangered animals on this earth, right along with Pandas and Bengal tigers, all thanks to the humans who are supposed to protect them. As a species, the white rhino is listed as "near threatened" by the IUCN. The white rhino exists in two subspecies, the northern, which is extremely rare in the wild, and the southern, which has a wild population of nearly 18000. So, as a species, they are not endangered, just the northern subspecies is.
