It is imperative that African countries as a continent recognise that we are faced with a similar issue, rhino poaching as a Wildlife crime. According to the non-profitable organization Save the Rhino Trust, Namibia holds almost a third of Africa's black rhino population, with a stronghold for the South Western black rhino subspecies. The ever-present threat of rhino poaching haunts the future of the black rhino in Namibia and this depends largely on our nation’s ability to protect this important rhino population. In recent years, we have observed a downtrend in the poaching of rhinos as the Namibian government has taken new law enforcement measures, mechanisms, and legal frameworks to minimise wildlife crimes.
