South Africa has dehorned dozens of rhinos in three popular game parks, aiming to prevent armed poachers taking advantage of the post-COVID-19 crash in tourism to kill them for their horns

.

They proceeded to a spot where they tranquilised a female rhino before removing her horn with an electric saw. One of her calves had to be restrained.Jacobs said since authorised dehorning began three years ago, there has been a drop in poaching. The numbers of rhinos in the parks, and how many have been poached, are kept secret to protect them."I've seen so many slaughtered, butchered rhinos. What is the solution?" he said.

On Monday, scientists published a study showing humans are causing mass extinction on a scale unseen since a meteor wiped out the land dinosaurs 65 million years ago, the sixth large-scale extinction in Earth's history.
