This is one of the answers I got back:Richprins wrote:I really wish they would report the number of successfully concluded prosecutions, with sentences meted out. Now THAT may prove a deterrent!
Nope - they only ever give out arrests and I have often seen arrests confused as convictions - there is from time to time some sort of picture that is given in presentations but the stuff I have is old.
Or it is kept quite, but most likely scenario is that nobody knows.

Re: Rhino Poaching 2013
What I did find out is that the conviction rate 2 years ago was about 30%.
It will not be much higher now.
That means that although Sanparks claims a much higher percentage of poachers being caught, which is not true as we all have calculated, still a large amount of those monsters are out to kill and kill again.

Re: Rhino Poaching 2013
Aparently lots of poaching going on in the north of the KNP.
No figures of that yet.
