Rhinos Are Losing Their Horns—On Purpose!

Did you know conservationists are actually cutting off rhino horns to save them from poachers? Wild, right? A new study found that dehorning led to a 78% drop in poaching across eight African reserves. It’s not a perfect fix—horns grow back and some poachers still go after the stumps—but it’s buying time for these endangered giants. The real challenge? Tackling the huge demand for rhino horn in illegal markets. Necessary evil or genius move? #RhinoConservation #WildlifeProtection #EndangeredSpecies #Science
