The rhino population has been rapidly decreasing over the years. Before 2008 the rhinos were doing fine but in 2008 the Chinese minister announced that rhino horns could be used to cure cancer. Ever since then there has been a high demand on rhino horn, especially in China. What people don't understand is that rhino horn is made of the same thing as our nails, hair and teeth. I have provided a bar chart on how many rhinos have been poached each year.
Most of the kills have been happening in South Africa where approximately four rhinos are killed each day.
