In "Save the Rhinos" by Carolyn Shattuck, rhinos, a giraffe and wildebeests walk the grasslands of Africa seemingly unaware that poachers and even world environmental issues threaten their existence. Carolyn Shattuck, introduction: "Rhino poaching is an ongoing and increasing issue in Africa. The rhino horn is a valuable trafficked commodity worldwide. In Vietnam, the powdered horn made from keratin is believed to treat hangovers, fever and gout and terminal illnesses. There is no evidence of any healing traits. In addition, the rhino horn is valued in traditional Chinese culture as a symbol of wealth. The Rhino recovery Fund in South Africa, and home to the largest rhino population in the world, estimates a rhino is killed every fifteen hours. "Botswana has developed a 'no tolerance policy' for poaching while closely monitoring the animals with specially designed telemetry devices. Also, one hundred rhinos have been relocated from South Africa to Botswana in an effort to keep them in a safe habitat. More rigorous plans are being developed to save this critical rhino population."
