For years environmentalists have warned that the biggest threat to the future of rhino populations is the indiscriminate killing of these animals in South Africa's Kruger National Park by organised syndicates infiltrating from neighbouring Mozambique. While the kingpins build their mansions on the proceeds of the slaughter of rhinos in the Kruger, home to the biggest population of these endangered animals in the world, young Mozambicans living along the border with the national park leave their families without saying goodbye and, motivated by the pursuit of money, head out on a journey that often means no return. The situation resulted in finger-pointing between Mozambique's judiciary, police, parks authorities and environmentalists amid claims that "they release poachers", and that some cases were not well presented in court.
