    South Africa's Rhinos - Going, going.....gone?

    By LaurenHaupt  |  Posted January 14, 2013  |  Johannesburg, South Africa
     

    Between 2000 and 2007 an average of 12 rhinos were killed per year in South Africa. In 2012  over 600 rhino were poached in South Africa!!!!! There has been a MASSIVE increase in rhino poaching in about the last 3 years. The poachers have better technology and more money than the people trying to stop it. How to you fight poachers with Asian companies funding them - poachers with helicopters, AK47s and night vision goggles?

     

    These photos are a tribute to the last rhinos.
