Every year, thousands of rhinos are slaughtered in Africa for their horns, very popular with practitioners of traditional medicine in China or Vietnam. There are 5,000 specimens of black rhinos on the African continent, including nearly 1900 in South Africa. The country is also home to some 20,000 white rhinos, or 80% of the world's population.
