Rhino ranger Harrison Kamande puts his life on the line to keep black rhinos away from the hands of poachers, so as to protect these critically endangered species for the next generation.
ELEPHANT IVORY, TIGER PENIS AND RHINO HORN —the demand for nature’s oddities has seen a spike in the illegal wildlife trade. In fact, overexploitation is the number two cause of loss of species, according to the International
Union for Conservation of Nature. Three of five living species of rhinos are critically endangered, thanks to the poaching of their horns, which purportedly cleanses the body and blood of toxins, cures cancer, and is an aphrodisiac. Rhino horns are being smuggled out of Africa to Asia, with China and Vietnam as their destination, and Singapore is a major transit hub. Over $1.5m worth of black rhino horn was seized here in 2014.
