White rhinos, which numbered 91 in Namibia in 1992 (see Table 4), are allowed to be shot on private land, and on average, one a year is hunted by wealthy foreign clients (see Table 5).

The government has done very little at all to alleviate the problem. Rhino horn and skin continue to be brought into the country... |
