2023-09-25 |
[RT] The African rhino population is growing for the first time in a decade, despite poaching remaining high, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has announced. According to figures released ahead of World Rhino Day on Friday, there were an estimated 23,290 rhinos on the continent at the end of 2022, an increase of 5.2% from the year before. Notably, the number of white rhinos, assessed for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2020, has grown by 5.6% and now stands at around 16,803. This is the first increase since 2012. |

#6 ^^^ "Basic wildlife population management. If you have too many of some critter in your ecosystem, you either need to find something/someone to eat them, or shoot a bunch of them to bring the population back in balance." Can this be a technique used in Chicago? |

#4 Poachers are now being hunted and shot Basic wildlife population management. If you have too many of some critter in your ecosystem, you either need to find something/someone to eat them, or shoot a bunch of them to bring the population back in balance. As for the rhinos, the increase is a side effect of Global Warming. Plants like C02. More C02 means more plants which means more rhino food which leads to more rhinos. The rhinos are also getting larger because things expand when they are heated. It's Science, bitches! |
