IUCN, the World Conservation Union, says there are between 17

and 22 animals left in their last refuge in Democratic Republic

of Congo (DRC). This represents a loss of between 14 and 19

rhinos in 14 months since the last survey - a 50% crash in

numbers.

Before reading this article, i thought that there were more than

50 or probably a greater amount of white rhinos left in Africa. I

could not believe that currently the amount was left less than

30-40.

All this happened blamed on the heavily-armed poaches. To

me, i think just because of the poachers trying to gain money

from poaching all the white rhinos, compared to the survival of

the white rhinos, i think they should be more environmentally

conscious.

Poaching the animals also have a few cases of deaths, the park

guards are struggling to contain this insurgency and several

have lost their lives in anti-poaching operations. I really hope

all this poaching would stop.
