There is a huge problem going on in Africa involving the Rhinos that live there. Poachers and animal hunters and hunting down Rhinos for their horns with are supposed to be some sort of medicine to help people. In order to stop the awful poaching, the African's have purchased a plane to "spy" on the Rhinos. To clarify, the plane has a camera in it which captures any activity that happens with the Rhinos. It will catch people Poaching the animals, which will help cut down on the Rhinos that perish from those people. Although the Rhino percentage of those killed raised up to over 50% more in the last year, It does not stop there. There is a higher demand for the Rhino's horns now from China and other Eastern countries, which provided that they want more over the years, means that the percentages killed could raise even higher if the plane was not there. To learn more about Rhinos go to the link.
If you were in charge of making sure the Rhino's were safe, what would you do besides use the "spy" plane???

I think that that's horrible. I think that Africa should help with this and make a law so people can help fight for rhinos.The spy planes are a good idea but what can they help with because they cant go down right away and save a rhino it takes a while till the plane lands. I agree that they need to do more then just Spy planes. Nice job.
