The Endangered Animals Of African Wildlife
Poaching In Africa
In 2012, 35,000 elephants and 668 rhinos were killed by poachers in South Africa alone. Elephant ivory sell for $1,000 a pound and rhino horn sells for 30,000 a pound. This problem isn't just in one area, it's everywhere. Rhinos are in the top 5 most endangered species in the world, due to poaching. If we just had people protecting them like rangers or get alternative materials we could save many species of animals.
