It is really sad. The Asian market has driven this senseless slaughter because of the mistaken belief that powdered rhino horn is a panacea for everything that ails you. They think it is particularly good for erectile dysfunction.
The photo safari lodge I went to last year has stopped reporting any sightings of rhinos in their newsletter and the rangers are worried that they are going to be put in a position where they are going to be forced to kill poachers.
The hunting lodge I stayed at in Namibia works with the government to be a safe haven for black rhinos but there have been reports of unmarked aircraft flying low over the area.
