If we divide the number of population (close estimate) in: the European Union+Switzerland, Australia, and U.S.A.+Canada, with the number of captive rhinos (close estimate) held in these regions, we get that Australia (Australasia) is a winner!

Here we go:

European Union + Switzerland
Population: around 520 milions (520,000,000)
Population of captive rhinos: around 420 (white, 260, black, 87, Indian, 74)
Ratio population/population of captive rhinos: 1,238,000/1, so there is one rhino for every 1,238,000 people.

United States of America + Canada
Population: around 360 milions
Population of captive rhinos: around 400 (white, 210, black ,120, Indian, 70)
Ratio population/population of captive rhinos: 900,000/1, so there is one rhino for every 900,000 people.

Australia + New Zealand
Population: around 29 milions
Population of captive rhinos: around 60 (white 45, black 11, Indian 3-4)
Ratio population/population of captive rhinos: 483,000/1, so there is one rhino for every 483,000 people.

So Europe, you need more captive rhinos! :)

It would be interesting to know the data for Japan and for some European countries like Germany for example, but I can't do this now.
