WildCRU alumnus discusses Rhino conservation in National Geographic
January 28, 2015
WildCRU alumnus, Dr Cristian Bonacic, was recently featured in a National Geographic article asking what Rhinoceros conservation in South Afica could learn from Vicuna conservation in South America.
“I strongly believe that farming rhinos for horn production will drive the last specimens of a unique species into a scenario where they’ll become more tame and less able to be part of the African ecosystem.
When you drive a magnificent animal away from its ecological relationships, you’re taking away the whole meaning of wildlife conservation.”
