Over 7,100 African rhinos have been killed by poaching in the last 10 years – that's around 2 every day.
Poaching gangs are becoming increasingly sophisticated. In some cases, using helicopters to track the rhinos, and once the animals are shot with guns or tranquilizing darts, their horns are removed using chainsaws, and quickly airlifted away. The whole operation can take as little as 10 minutes, and if the rhino isn't already dead, it will often bleed to death. This is why we need your help!
South Africa holds the majority of the world’s rhinos and has been the country hit hardest by poaching criminals, with more than 1,000 rhinos killed each year
According to traditional Chinese texts, rhino horn has been used in Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years and is used to treat things such as fever, rheumatism, gout, and other disorders. Despite all these claims, this is not true. Rhino horn is made up primarily of keratin – a protein found in hair, fingernails, and animal hooves.
The existence of the rhinoceros continues to decline and there are only a few remaining. In total, there are about 30,000 rhinos in the world.
