Rhinoceros Horn Poaching and Illegal Trade at its Highest level

This article talks about the the results of a report about Rhinoceros conservation.  It shows that even though the rhinoceros population has increased, there has been a huge increase in poaching and illegal trade of their horns.  In the year 2007, only 13 rhinoceros were poached in South Africa.  In the year 2009, 122 rhinoceros were poached.  In the year 2012, 455 rhinoceros were poached.  In those 5 years, rhinoceros poaching incidents in South Africa and Zimbabwe account for 94% of the rhinoceros deaths in Africa.  Meanwhile, it shows that since 1991, the white rhinoceros and black rhinoceros populations in Africa have increased 6% each year.
I think this is a good article to use because it has a lot of information that I can use from my research paper.
