CLEAN : South Africa says over 1,000 rhinos poache

The video discusses the escalation of rhino poaching since 2008, driven by a myth in Vietnam that rhino horn cures cancer. This has led to a significant increase in poaching, particularly affecting the Kruger National Park. The park faces challenges due to its porous border with Mozambique, allowing poachers easy access. Organized crime has shifted to rhino horn trade due to lower risks compared to other crimes. Despite efforts by dedicated individuals, the lack of resources hampers effective anti-poaching measures.
