In die minder as agt maande van 2022 wat al verby is, is 36 renosters reeds oraloor die land gestroop. In die nuutste voorvalle is die karkas van ’n witrenoster gister op 'n private plaas in die Okahandja-distrik ontdek. Maandag is karkasse van nog twee gestroopte witrenosters op 'n private plaas in die Outjo-distrik aangemeld. Net verlede week het die ministerie gesê 33 renosters is vanjaar gestroop, waarvan 24 swartrenosters en nege witrenosters was. Onder dié gevalle is 15 renosters wat in die Etosha Nasionale Park gestroop is, nege op bewaringsplase en nog nege op private plase.

In the less than eight months of 2022 that have already passed, 36 rhinos have already been poached all over the country. In the latest incidents, the carcass of a white rhinoceros was discovered yesterday on a private farm in the Okahandja district. On Monday, carcasses of two more poached white rhinos were reported on a private farm in the Outjo district. Just last week, the ministry said 33 rhinos were poached this year, of which 24 were black rhinos and nine white rhinos. Among these cases are 15 rhinos poached in the Etosha National Park, nine on conservation farms and another nine on private farms.
