Online: A Conversation on Dehorning

Join us for an exclusive conversation on rhino dehorning

Poaching continues to put huge pressure on rhino populations as organised criminal networks illegally kill rhinos to traffic their horns through key smuggling routes. Countering this threat isn’t easy. Recently, many key rhino sites have been protecting rhinos through the process of dehorning, where expert conservationists carefully remove a rhino’s horn.

Dehorning seems effective as short term solution, but how does it actually happen? And what impact is it having on rhinos and their protection? We’ll be joined by experts Dr Jo Shaw, Dr Markus Hofmeyr, Dr Sandra Shikomba and Piet Beytell on 24 October for a live event to find out answers to these questions and more.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the topic of dehorning and its role in rhino conservation.
