UB hosts public lecture on rhino poaching

“In light of the Bots50 celebrations, we need to remind ourselves of the challenges bedevilling our natural heritages. Our oblivion towards challenges threatening our natural ecosystems can only be catastrophic! This will be the opportunity for your media house to interact with Dr John Hanks who has written a book on the issue,” says a statement from UB.

The statement further says that poaching for ivory has become a serious international problem for governments, conservationists and wildlife management agencies across the world. Southern Africa’s rhino population has been heavily decimated by poachers in the past few decades.
