A total of 2103 animals out of a total capture of nearly 2300 were sold during 2014 for Ezemvelo, realising a turnover of nearly R31 million. ;-)

A very comprehensive PhD thesis:
Hübschle, A. (2016). A Game of Horns: Transnational Flows of Rhino Horn. PhD Thesis, Universität Köln, Köln


And some good data and overview on SANParks' rhino sales: 4.4.4. The sale of live rhinos as a fundraising strategy for national parks

Hmmmm..... given away at less than R15 000 per rhino 0*\ . At private game auctions even " ordinary " impalas sell for R3000 , and rare colour variants sell for up to R1,25 million each :O^
And rhinos at these auctions easily sell for R1 million each :O^


Enough is enough

A whole lot of smoke screens have been used. This sure is an eye opener :shock:

As always the numbers etc. come out after two years. O/ Especially in a field like Rhino sales, where things are changing very quickly lately, it would be nice to have something up to date.

:ty: Toko! Extremely interesting.

The entire thesis is very enlightning, I am done with reading now :shock:


Some undertones suggest that state parks entering in sales started off the entire business with the ranching/breeding farmers being the catalyst for the illegal poaching of the second stage.
