Environmental Affairs, 363 rhinos were killed by

poachers in the first quarter, compared to the 404 rhinos

killed during the first quarter of 2015.

4. PANGOLINS

Since 2000, it is estimated that up to one million pangolins have been

taken from the wild for illegal trade globally. Poaching is severely

depleting populations in Asia. Research suggests pangolins

populations in China have been reduced by 94% and evidence suggests

pangolins have been locally extirpated in other areas.

Pangolin consumption and trade have made these creatures

one of the most endangered groups of mammals in the world,

considered a delicacy in China and Vietnam, and for pangolin

scales, which are used as an ingredient in traditional Asian

medicine.

All eight species of this animal, which is found over large

parts of Africa and Asia, are facing extinction, according to

Jonathan Baillie, a pangolin specialist at the International

Union for Conservation of Nature in London.
