According to the Combatting Wildlife Crime in Namibia Annual Report for 2020, rhino crimes accounted for most arrests during the past year, with 145 suspects having been detained. "A significant number of these were pre-emptive arrests, where suspects were caught before they could kill a rhino. This is not only a highly commendable law enforcement success, but also a very positive conservation outcome. Pre-emptive arrests have directly saved numerous rhinos and will allow the population to continue to multiply," the report stated. The number of rhinos known to have been poached in Namibia during 2020 has decreased from 2019. However, significantly more rhino horns were seized during 2020 compared to2019. The report further shows that arrests during 2020 included a number of high-level perpetrators, with significant international connections.
