Rhino poaching: Green Scorpions quietly getting the job done

An extraordinary environmental  crime state-public network in the Eastern Cape has been accredited for the massive reduction in rhino and cycad poaching in the province in 2019 and again this year. Since rhino poaching got going in the province in 2008, 100 rhinos have been slaughtered by the horn robbers, with the crime peaking in 2019 when 19 were killed.
