Rhino Management and Poaching
Comments OffIf ever you thought issues were just simple
South Africa is facing a war against Rhino. Currently we are losing an average of one Rhino every 21 hours! This species can not survive a such a kill rate. If nothing is done to stop the continuous slaughter we will lose our entire population of both black and white rhino
Yesterday, there were over 30 species of rhinoceros on Earth, today only 5 species remained. From 1970 to 2000, over 90% of the world population of rhinos dropped. The major cause of this massive extinction is poaching. We have to react in force to preserve our two precious species: the Black and White rhinos.
Analyses of horns were made by scientists and showed that they have no medicinal value. The horns are actually made of keratin, just like our hair or fingernails. however, rhinos victims of this myth almost disappeared. A large black market has been developped, knowing that 1 horn weigh around 10kg and that 1kg of horn is worth R140,000!
Protrack financed by us for their property has to be the hottest guys on the block. Thnaks to these anti-poaching guys !!!!
