Habitat Loss

Forests are being destroyed all over Asia for things like clearings to build more skyscrapers that ruin the environment, school supplies, furniture and other home decor. That is why all the Asian rhinos like the Sumatran Rhino and the Indian Rhino's numbers are especially low because they have two worries in their lives that are caused by selfish humans. Habitat loss and poaching. This is completely unacceptable if we want to save our rhinos. If we continue to cut down trees like this not only will the rhino become extinct, but other types of animals too. Tigers, birds, foxes and many more. Also trees are an important part of our environment as they provide the oxygen we breathe in and is necessary for us to survive. Heres what you can do to help to prevent trees getting cut down.

1. Wood isn't necessary to make pencils with. Be environmentally friendly and don't buy the pencils made of wood. Instead purchase the recycled newspaper pencils and there are pencils with no wood at all in them.

2. Some paper is not made of trees and by other things. Buy those instead.

3. Stop buying books. Get them on your Kindle or just borrow them from libraries.

4. If you don't need both sides of the paper use an already used paper for notes or simple drafts.

Save the trees. Save the rhinos.

Poaching in South Africa

Many of the poachings occur in South Africa due to its supply of rhinos. South Africa is full of game reserves that have rhinos and other various different types of animals. In South Africa, any type of poaching is illegal, so poachers either pose as guests to be able to get closer to any animals or they cause disturbances in a area, thus driving the animal out of South Africa's borders in countries where poaching is legal, and kill them there. However, in South Africa, if someone is caught attempting to poach a rhino or has killed a rhino, they are arrested and sentenced to a 40-45 years time in jail. Most of the poachings in that area happen in Kruger National Park because it is at the border of South Africa and Mozambique where poachers usually drive the animals towards. Also, Kruger National Park has no fences so it is relatively easy to drive the rhino into a different country. As well as all that, Kruger has the most rhinos in all of South Africa, so this place is ideal for poachers.
