Big drop in rhino poaching as SA govt tackles syndicates!
Some positive conservation news from South Africa!
Rhino poaching in South Africa is on the decline as the government makes a concerted effort to battle the scourge that threatens a critically endangered species.
The decline in poaching has become an established trend as law enforcement agencies cooperated to take down syndicates operating in SA and neighbouring countries.
"A decline in poaching for five consecutive years is a reflection of the diligent work of the men and women who put their lives on the line daily to combat rhino poaching, often coming into direct contact with ruthless poachers," said Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy.
In 2018, 769 rhino were killed for their horns, but that was reduced to 564 in 2019 – a reduction of 26%.In particular, most of the provinces saw reductions in rhino poaching. Only Limpopo and Gauteng registered increases.
