Conservationists racing to a build next generation camera trap in
poaching hotspots have issued a desperate appeal for public support to
secure crucial funds to save hundreds of rhinos and elephants over the
next two years.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) hopes to install cameras with automatic sensors in Tsavo National Park, in Kenya, to protect rhinos and elephants from poachers who are mercilessly cashing in on the soaring demand for rhino horn and ivory.
The creatures' horns, particularly coveted in China, Vietnam and other parts of Asia, are ground to powder and used as traditional medicines.
However, as Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has shrewdly pointed out in the past: “Rhino horn has the same medicinal value as one of my big toenails.”
