The greatest threat facing African rhinos today is poaching for the illegal trade in their horns. The illegal trade has soared in recent years. The two African rhino species – black rhino and white rhino continue to be at risk due to a huge surge in poaching to meet the demand for the illegal rhino, primarily in Asia countries.

Rhino horn is predominantly used in traditional Chinese medicine. The horn is also increasingly used as a symbol to display success and wealth.

Let us unite and bring an end to this impunity. Rhino horns must be left to rhinos!
