There are a number of way to prevent poaching, educating people about rhinos, dehorning the animals, ensuring that there are more trained personnel to handle poachers, and stricter punishments in place for those that do poach.

∙ 11y agoThe reason why the rhinoceros is hunted is for it's horn, either for Yemenese ceremonial daggars or for medicine (the horn is believed, by traditional Chinese medicine, to have medicinal properties - it is a symbol of virility, and hence prescribed for erectile dysfunction). Ironically, we now do have effective drugs with which to treat that condition (Viagra etc.) and it is completely unnecessary for anyone to resort to an ineffective folk remedy such as rhinoceros horn powder. Therefore, the most comprehensive remedy to rhino poaching would seem to be education. If the public were sufficiently well informed, they would cease to buy rhinoceros horn powder, and with no demand for the product, there would then be nothing to gain by rhino poaching. Education solves many problems.
- Education
- More guards with better rifles and tracking abilities/equipment
- Capture rhinos and cut off their horns so they are unattractive to poachers

∙ 9y agoThe only thing that will stop poaching of rhinos is if we can educate the people who use rhino horn that it is not a useful medical treatment. Then there would be no market for rhino horn, and hunters would stop killing them. In the meantime, we can increase protection by hiring more Rangers and protecting more habitat for rhinos.
