Phinda: Rural communities are saving rhinos
April 6, 2016
“The power of the community is incredible. They can shut down a national road. They can block poachers until we have time to get there with the police and make an arrest. And it’s not just rhino poaching. We can shut down a community if there is an armed robbery at the tuck shop. Community involvement is critical.”
