Around 80% of the world’s 29,000 rhinos can be found in South Africa. According to TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring organisation, some 1,028 rhinos were illegally killed in South Africa in 2017. Though this is the third year in a row the number of rhinos poached in the country has dropped – from a high of 1,215 in 2014 – it is far above the 13 killed in 2007. (http://bit.ly/2tQ4D4N)
