Rhinoceros Poachers Targeted in South Africa as Killings Surge to a Record - Bloomberg

Rhinoceros Poachers Targeted in South Africa as Killings Surge to a Record - Bloomberg: "Rhino poachers are using helicopters to find rhinos both in national parks and on private game farms and the Endangered Wildlife Trust is working with aviation authorities to find ways of tracking low-flying helicopters. Game farmers are also being urged to take DNA samples from their stock to help prosecute poachers by linking dead rhinos to horns. South Africa is home to 93 percent of Africa’s rhino population"
