The trafficking of African rhinoceros horn on the black market has surged 30-fold in the past 13 years and is now running out of control, animal protection advocates have said.
“In 2013, more than 2,000 rhinoceros horns from Africa were trafficked, which is 30 times more than in 2000,” Celine Sissler-Bienvenu, director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) for France and French-speaking Africa, told reporters in Paris.
