Rhino warriors

Wildlife Extra News - Show your support for the rhino warriors: "August 2010: WWF has launched a campaign to raise support and funding for those rangers who put their lives on the line to protect Africa's rhinos. Rhino poaching has increased dramatically over the past year-and-a half, fuelled by demand for horn in Asia for use in traditional medicines.


SHOW YOUR SUPPORT: WWF is asking for the public
to show their support on Make Noise for Rhinos Day
South Africa, proud stronghold of the African black and white rhino with more than 90 per cent of Africa's rhino populations, has been losing at least 20 of the animals per month. In the past four years, about 600 rhinos were poached across the African continent."
