The south-western zone is particularly prone to poaching, whereas the eastern area is protected to some degree by the natural barrier of the Nile and by its swampy terrain.
In other parts, zebra populations also appear to have been wiped out. The animal used to number up to 20,000 in the Boma National Park, in the south-east corner of the autonomous region, but were not visible to the survey planes.
The Wildlife Conservation Society, which has numerous global outreach projects but also runs the zoo in Manhattan's Central Park, now wants to build on the survey findings to preserve the extraordinary wildlife that they found. It is calling for the creation of an international conservation mission to protect it.
Under the scheme, former fighters with the Sudan People's Liberation Army would be retrained into wildlife activists, managing a network of parks and encouraging environmentally-friendly practices among local villagers.
The project would be called the Sudano-Sahel Initiative, and it has been modelled on work done in the Congo basin, another abundant ecosystem under enormous pressure from civil war and conflict over natural resources.
