Publication Year:

Abstract:

The rhinoceros species is facing a crisis. After a long period of gains in population of the Southern White Rhinoceros, in the last decade we have witnessed a dramatic rise in poaching on the African continent, from an estimated 60 rhinos in 2006 to 1338 in 2015. These levels of poaching now place the species at risk of extinction in the wild. Keywords: Animal Byproducts, Endangered Species, Environment, Viet Nam.
