Petition: Poachers Slaughtered 10 Rhinos in a Single Week. Demand Justice.

In just one week, ten critically endangered rhinos were found dead — their carcasses abandoned — in one area of Kruger National Park in South Africa, and Conservation groups are warning that a new wave of poaching may be starting. Rhinos are killed for their horns, which are trafficked overseas despite an international trade ban in place since 1977. Fewer than 30,000 rhinos remain worldwide today, down from roughly 500,000 a century ago, so every animal lost pushes the species closer to the edge. Please sign the petition urging Kruger to invest in real-time monitoring so rangers can detect and stop poachers before they kill.

Anti-poaching technology saves rhinos — but only when it’s funded, and rangers can’t respond to what they can’t detect in time. Sign the petition to urge Kruger National Park to deploy higher-efficiency, real-time detection systems and protect the rhinos that are left. One Green Planet has tracked both the crisis and the fragile progress in The Number of Rhinos Has Risen Slightly (But Poaching Hasn’t Stopped), and you can read more on this latest spike via World Animal News.
