South African rhino poaching numbers show need for urgent action

South African rhino poaching numbers show need for urgent action

March 8, 2017 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

The poaching numbers in South Africa are staggering. Many rhinos are killed by people and urgent action needs to take place to save the animals. Over 1,000 rhinos were killed in the year 2016 alone. The rhinos are killed for their horns and people think it can actually cure people of disease.

Key Takeaways:

  • South African rhino poaching numbers for the last year show a decline for the second consecutive year due to concerted conservation efforts.
  • However, there is still a long road ahead as Africa continues to lose an average of three rhinos a day to the ongoing poaching crisis.
  • In 2016 alone, 1,054 rhinos were reported killed in South Africa. This is a slight decline from 1,175 in 2015 and 1,215 in 2014.
