Geeezz, why is it I get that helpless feeling.
Are we really that useless in the protection programs.
It seems that groups of rhino are now getting wiped out.

Re: Rhino Poaching 2014
Great stuff, Penny!
Bit strange the poachers were photographing the rhino...maybe just cover. Normally the "tourist" spotters just sms or phone the syndicate which then alerts the nearest group, which then comes in from east or west on foot etc. It all takes time, but the group can be pretty sure of finding the rhino there again at this time of year.
Would love to see those pics of the suspects!
It would not be surprising in the least that they now shorten the schlepp of entering on foot, and overnight in staff quarters after doing their stuff!
