Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has resorted to drastic action to stop the widespread poaching of rhinos in the region. They have started an immediate programme to dehorn hundreds of rhinos in the province's largest rhino reserve. This follows the killing of 325 rhinos in the province last year, with more than 300 of the animals poached in the Hluhluwe-uMfolozi Park alone. The KZN slaughter accounted for nearly 65% of the 499 rhinos killed nationwide in 2023. Sebenzile Nkambule spoke to Musa Mntambo, spokesperson for Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife..

KZN records highest number of Rhino poaching cases amidst growing concerns over declining population by Radio Islam

KwaZulu-Natal has recorded the highest number of rhinoceroses poached in the year 2023. This was revealed by the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Barbara Creecy on Tuesday as she briefed the nation on the latest rhino poaching statistics. During her presentation, Creecy revealed that for the period in question, a total of 499 rhinos were poached across South Africa, with the KwaZulu-Natal's Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park facing the brunt of poaching cases, losing 307 of the total national poaching loss. Here is Minister Creecy expanding further.

In business, the million-dollar question is how to get people to buy stuff. But in wildlife conservation, the challenge is: how do we get people to not buy stuff? How do we bring down demand for fur, ivory and rhino horns? Today on the show, the story of a business trying to make lab-grown rhino horns and the backlash that followed.

Two additional Rhino-related conversations: The first is with Piet Beytell, the Chief Conservation Scientist at the Namibian Government's Ministry of Environment Forestry and Tourism, and the National Rhino Coordinator for Namibia; the second is with Tommy Hall who works as a Wildlife Intelligence Officer, running a number of informer networks that assist both the Namibian Government and the Save the Rhino Trust in their anti-poaching endeavours. These two conversations serve as an addendum to last week's episode focused upon the work of Save the Rhino Trust Namibia. Hopefully they illuminate, at least in part, the national legislative environment within which the SRT operates and the manner in which poachers attempt to thwart the Trust's goals.

My AP Biology Thoughts  Unit 8 Ecology EPISODE TITLE: South African Rhino PoachingWelcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Keenan Wallace and I am your host for this episode called Unit 8 Ecology-Threatened Rhinos in South Africa. Today we will be discussing South African Rhino Poaching and how it relates to the AP Biology Curriculum.  Segment 1: Overview of Rhino Poaching numbers poached rising in recent years: 13 Rhinos poached in 2007, peaked in 2015  1175 Rhinos killed in south africa in 2015 (more than 3 a day),  number poached has since declined with 394 killed in 2020 Rhino population has decreased from 1 million in the 1800s to only 27,000 in the wild today. Rhinos are a keystone species: They play an integral role in their ecosystem and many other species in the ecosystem depend on their presence Segment 2: Evidence that supports dangers of rhino poaching Rhinos are so large that they actually Geo-form: change the land around them Rhinos often wallow in mud to keep cool and ward off insects.  This helps maintain waterholes When the rhinos get out they track the fertile, nutrient rich soil that accumulates in waterholes far and wide, distributing the nutrients.  Rhino dung supports other species and food chains Rhino dung fertilizes soil Dung beetles lay their eggs in rhino dung, which also supports species that eat the beetle larvae A number of bird species rely on Rhino dung for insects and seeds.  Rhinos support fly and tick species as well as animals that eat them, like terrapins (a kind of turtle) and oxpeckers (the iconic symbiotic relationship) Keep grass short, allowing plant species that can't survive among long grass to thrive. Segment 3: Connection to the Course Without rhinos, all of these roles would be left unfilled and with its foundation gone the ecosystems would begin to collapse. (keystone species) When you hear about rhino conservation, this is why it matters.  Thank you for listening to this episode of My AP Biology Thoughts. For more student-ran podcasts and digital content, make sure that you visit http://www.hvspn.com (www.hvspn.com).  Music Credits:"Ice Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Subscribe to our Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-ap-biology-thoughts/id1549942575 (Apple Podcasts) https://open.spotify.com/show/1nH8Ft9c9f6dmo75V9imCk (Spotify) https://podcasts.google.com/search/my%20ap%20biology%20thoughts (Google Podcasts )   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07e_nBHLyc_nyvjF6z-DVg (YouTube)  Connect with us on Social MediaTwitterhttps://twitter.com/thehvspn ( @thehvspn) Sources: “Vanishing Rhinos - The Impact of Rhino Poaching on the South African Ecosystem.

Guest: Dr Jo Shaw | Senior Manager for Wildlife Programmes at WWF South Africa A recent report by South Africa National Parks (SANParks) has delivered the statistics that there are just 3,529 white rhinos and 268 black rhinos left in the Kruger Park.  The Park continues to be home to the world's largest rhino population and these numbers have clearly revealed a devastating reality.   Dr. Jo Shaw is the Manager of WWF South Africa's Rhino Programme and has been instrumental in steering the organizations five-point strategy for rhino conservation. She will discuss the state of affairs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A group of concerned Zimbabwean youth have organized a 100 kilometer walk to raise awareness on anti-rhino poaching efforts in the region.

In this week's episode, we are joined by Jamie Joseph, wildlife activist and founder of Saving the Wild. Jamie provides an insight into Saving the Wild's work including her involvement in exposing the accused rhino poaching kingpin of Zululand, Dumisani Gwala; and the arrest of Rhino Poaching kingpin, Petros Mabuza, recently deceased. We also gain an insight into a stunning new documentary film, ‘Kimana Tuskers', directed by Jamie, along with an academy award-winning team. The documentary was filmed in Kenya's Greater Amboseli ecosystem and showcases the last of the great elephant tuskers. A hard hitting episode about serious issues affecting the last of our rhino's.

Science will now play a key role in the protection of Rhinos against rampant poaching. A pioneering project, involving radioactive isotopes is underway in the Eastern Cape. The aim of the project is to decrease the value and the demand of Rhino horns in the black market. This will be done by making the horn radioactive, without posing danger to the animal or its surrounds. The origin of a horn can also be pinpointed through its isotope marking.

The pandemic continues to spread, with over 7 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide by June 12, and research has shown that much of this spread has happened indoors. What we can do in our own homes, buildings, and even cars to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. Also, more than 80 percent of the world's African rhino population lives in South Africa, making the country the epicenter of the rhino poaching world. Though the number of rhinos killed has steadily decreased since 2014, the coronavirus pandemic has brought a major drop in poaching.
