Rhinoceros poaching is the illegal hunting of rhinos. Because rhino populations are declining rapidly, they are protected by law and it is illegal to hunt them. However, demand for rhino horn in parts of Asia is so high that the price of a rhino's horn is worth more than its weight in gold. Hence, some people illegally hunt, or poach, rhinos to sell their horns to Asia and make lots of money. This is a major reason rhino populations are dwindling.
