Conservation efforts fail as poachers kill 500 rhinos in South Africa in 2023

Nearly 500 rhinos were killed in South Africa last year, the environment ministry reported. At least 499 of the thick-skinned herbivores were killed in 2023 in state-run parks, even as the government claimed it was making efforts to tackle the illegal trade in horns. Out of 499 deaths, 307 took place in the Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, Africa's oldest reserve located in eastern KwaZulu-Natal province. "This is the highest poaching loss within this province," said Environment Minister Barbara Creecy.
