Why are rhino horns valuable?

Part of the reason is the demand in Asia, where the horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine. A kilogram of rhino horn now goes for $60,000 on the black market. That's $1610 an ounce for the rhino horn. The rate of their decline is truly astounding: in the decade of the 1970s alone, half the world's rhino population disappeared. Today, less than 15 per cent of the 1970 population remains an estimated 10,000 to 11,000 worldwide.

What is rhino pouching?

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.
