Black Rhino

Namibia, home to the only free-roaming Black Rhinos left in the world, holds almost a third of Africa’s Black Rhino population. It was the first country to use de-horning to discourage poachers from killing rhinos. Experience has shown however, that unless extensive anti-poaching security and monitoring efforts are in place, rhinos will continue to be poached regardless of whether they have been de-horned.

Rhino poaching is at a crisis point - in the last decade 9,415 African rhinos have been killed by poachers. The number of rhinos killed has gone up in the continent for six years in a row.
