Thanks Hannes,
Let's do the maths
In 2013 and 2014 that is 2024 Rhino killed.
An average horn weighs 10 kilos.
Rhino horn sells for $US60,000 per kilo
2024 X 10 X 60,000 = $US 1,214,400,000.00
This is the wholesale cost, so you can multiply that by 10 to get the retail cost.
The value to organised crime is a STAGGERING
$US 12, 144,000,000.00 OR
twelve billion one hundred and forty million US dollars
This is the size of the problem that we face.
Fitz.

The cost of hiring a poacher to kill a rhino is about 100,000 ZAR...Less than $US 10,000!
