Cover: NOT YET 'OUT OF THE WOODS' BUT AT LEAST FINALLY OUT OF THE WOMB. The successful reproduction of this Sumatran rhino at the Cincinnati Zoo provides an epochal breakthrough that hopefully will enable managed breeding of Sumatran rhinos in captivity to become a viable component of conservation efforts for this beleaguered species (see AsRSG report, page 11).
