HLUHLUWE - Dehorning rhinos is the last resort in fighting rhino poaching and saving the under-siege species.
That’s according to the Chief Executive of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, Sihle Mkhize.
Of 499 rhinos poached across the country in 2023, 307 were from Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has dehorned 1,800 rhinos at the park since April this year in an effort to curb rhino poaching.
