From the english verison: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Buffalo

Quote:

Although in the past the population of African buffalo was in the tens of millions, it now stands at about 900,000; mostly in the savannas of eastern Africa. Some of the reasons for this decline in numbers are hunting, both for food and for sport; the conversion of their habitat to farmland and cattle pasture; droughts; and the introduction of foreign pests and diseases, especially the cattle disease rinderpest. It is not considered to be in danger of extinction as long as it remains protected in parks and reserves, although habitat loss continues (Huffman 2006)(IUCN 2006).




I'd say Wikipedia is stretching the truth a bit here, but I am not suprised. Also, notice that the list of countries where buffalo are found is not complete. Nor do they mention the western buffalo or the dwarf forest buffalo.

FWIW, I have a general impression that a lot of info found on Wikipedia has a greenie slant to it...
