Rhino Blog: Courts The saying \u201cthe wheels of justice turn slowly\u201d couldn\u2019t be truer than here in Africa. Presenter Bonne de Bod explores the criminal justice system where rhinos are voiceless but where brave state prosecutors are speaking for them. Poaching a rhino in South Africa where rhinos are classified as property has, up until now, not been a serious crime. Recent linkages of illegal rhino horn trade to large international syndicates has now brought attention to crimes against rhinos, with the government focusing on this as a priority crime. Bonn\u00e9 sits in court where the large syndicate gangs appear as well as the poor and illiterate poachers from Mozambique.<\/p>\n Rhino Blog: Intensive Protection Zone Kruger National Park is one of the world\u2019s biggest and wildest national parks, making it incredibly difficult for its 400 field rangers to patrol and protect the world\u2019s largest living population of rhinos in the wild. Spread out over an area the size of New Jersey or Israel, the park\u2019s scientists have decided to move the rhinos in a massive operation to the\u00a0Intensive Protection Zone\u00a0or\u00a0IPZ. It\u2019s here in this zone that the rhinos are away from the porous Mozambican border where poachers infiltrate the park in as many as 15 gangs of three daily. The relocated rhinos now have foot collars that are tracked every 36-hours and there is an increased militarised presence of armed rangers, helicopters, police and the national army. It is hoped by bringing a large population of rhinos into this area that they will adapt to their new territory and stay alive in what should be one of the world\u2019s safest national parks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world\u2019s rhinos are in trouble and award-winning wildlife television presenter Bonn\u00e9 de Bod is on a quest to find out why and more importantly, what\u2019s being done.
