Although rhino horns have no medicinal properties, poachers continue to hunt these animals. EL PAÍS traveled to Kruger National Park in South Africa to see the efforts of conservationists and brands such as Hublot to keep them alive
Kruger National Park, the world’s greatest refuge for rhinos, is losing them to poaching faster than they’re being born. The park’s last rhino may already be alive. It’s time to declare an emergency.
The trial of a former Kruger National Park ranger and a state veterinary technician accused of rhino poaching has been postponed to November 22 because the court dates of the accused’s legal representative clash with another trial.
Two poachers caught with a high-powered rifle and poaching equipment close to the carcasses of two rhinos have each been sentenced to 23 years in jail.
