Africa’s main fame and pride comes from it’s wildlife. You would think the govts would go to extreme and brutal lengths to maintain and protect it. The park rangers who helped these poachers were poorly paid. They need to pay them enough so they are living high on the hog,,,and they need many more of them. There are too few rangers and too many poachers. Not only that, but they should be paid a big bonus for every poacher they find and gun down.
“..are too few rangers and too many poachers. ...”
I am sure politics has a role.
But you are right.
Maybe they should sell rhino credits instead of trying to push those bogus carbon credits.
