The last known rhinoceroses in Mozambique have been wiped out by poachers apparently working in cahoots with the game rangers responsible for protecting them, it has emerged.

There's really not a lot to be done if the game rangers are in it.

What ever happened to that idea of raising them in farms? (Which doesn´t sound very practical anyways, them being such slow breeders and all of that...)
