Description

There's an emerging trend with rhino horn smuggling. Criminal networks are now turning it into jewelry to evade its detection in airports. Wildlife trade monitoring network Traffic says the horns are smuggled as beads, bracelets, bangles and rhino horn powder. The largest markets are in China and Vietnam. At least 7,100 rhinos are estimated to have been killed in Africa since 2007, and about 25,000 of the animals remain. At this rate, there's growing concern that rhinos could be extinct in the wild within the next 10 years.Subscribe to us on YouTube: http://ow.ly/Zvqj30aIsgY Follow us on:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cgtnafrica/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/cgtnafrica
