In Africa one rhinoceros is killed by poachers every single day. The hunting methods have never been as brutal. In China and Vietnam, one kilogram of powdered rhino horn is worth more than a kilogram of gold. How can the animals survive this? Should they be protected by armed units and personal guards like in the Lewa Wildlife Park in Kenya? The saviour of the African White Rhinoceros, the animal welfare activist Ian Player, is from South Africa. In the 1970s he transported rhinos to wildlife parks and zoos all over the world and he has spent all his life fighting for these endangered animals.
