How many rhinos left?

Poachers have killed 100 rhinoceros in South Africa in less than two months, taking the year's total to 381. This horrifying jump in killings is linked to surging demand for rhino horn in Asia, where this product is rumoured to cure everything from hangovers to cancer. In fact, rhino horn has no medicinal value.

Save the rhinos!

The rhino is being hunted into extinction and could disappear forever unless we act now. Join the call for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to save rhinos by immediately suspending trade in all rhino products.
