Vietnam Poaching

So far this year, South Africa has lost more than 290 rhinos, an average of at least two a day. Poachers have gone high-tech, using helicopters, silencers and night vision goggles to meet the growing demand for rhino horn in East Asia, especially Vietnam. Last year in Vietnam, rhino horn sold for up to $1,400 an ounce, which is about the price of gold.
