People hunt rhinos primarily for their horns, which are highly sought after in traditional medicine, particularly in some Asian cultures where they are believed to possess healing properties and enhance vitality. Additionally, rhino horns are often used as a status symbol, fetching high prices on the black market. Despite a lack of scientific evidence supporting their medicinal benefits, the demand persists, driving poaching and contributing to the decline of rhino populations. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these endangered species from extinction.
