THIS IS URGENT NEWS, PEOPLE. The World Wildlife Fund has recently conducted a study that shows that unless poaching trends are reversed, rhinos could face extinction in about ten years. Given the amount of money in circulation from the poaching trade, this is a very difficult thing to stop. An ordinary South African could earn several months' worth of money in just about three days, and several rhinos are killed in Africa every day. I have no confirmation that this is true, but it doesn't matter. Either way, it's an extremely pressing issue.
This introduces my new "POACHING THREAT" page, which is under construction and will be up soon, including links to sites about the threat and how you can help, and facts about the issue. But we only have 10 years left. From now on, there's no more just
talking about action. It's a race against time.
