South Africa s Kruger National Park has been slammed by poachers, corruption, and drought

South Africa’s Kruger National Park has been slammed by poachers, corruption, and drought. ByDina Fine Maron Rhinos in Kruger, the jewel of South Africa’s national parks, are in trouble. The park’s rhino numbers have dropped by about 70 percent during the past decade, largely because of poaching and its knock-on effects for breeding and calf survival, according to a new assessment from South African National Parks (SANparks), which manages Kruger and the country’s 18 other major parks. Kruger is now home to fewer than 4,000 rhinos, down from more than 10,000 in 2010. The population is divided between 3,549 white rhinos, which are grazers with square lips, and 268 black rhinos, which have pointed upper lips that help them pluck leaves and fruit from trees. Kruger’s rhinos make up about 30 percent of the world’s estimated 18,000 wild rhinos.

Silent horses : Anti-poaching e-bikes charge into

The road networks in most large African game reserves are pretty rudimentary, forcing field rangers to patrol vast areas on foot. But even if they are lucky enough to enjoy air support or have access to vehicles, rangers still need the element of surprise when intercepting armed poaching gangs. The solar-powered, electric bush bikes, developed by the Stockholm-based Cake group, are powerful all-terrain motorbikes. (Photo: Supplied) In the Kruger National Park, the epicentre of the rhino horn war, poaching has been the main reason for a dramatic two-thirds decline of the world’s single-biggest population of wild rhinos over the past decade – despite the deployment of a wide range of expensive and sophisticated anti-poaching technologies.
