Add a subspecies of extinct rhino

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) claims the West African black rhino has become extinct because no one has seen them in the last 7 years.

IUCN claims the West African black rhino has disappeared forever because no one and no devices have detected them since 2006, Science Daily reported.

"People, namely human greed, have made them extinct , " IUCN said.

West African black rhinoceros, a subspecies of black rhino, has existed for thousands of years in the southern region of Africa. According to an article on Earth First News on May 7, many people crave black African rhino horns because they think they can cure all diseases - from headaches to cancer.

SavetheRhino.org, a website on rhino conservation, says that rich people in Asia believe rhino horn is a symbol of wealth. In traditional Chinese medicine, healers use rhino horns to treat fever, convulsions, and detoxification of drunken people.

TRAFFIC's network of surveillance for wildlife trade confirms that the praises of the "miraculous" effect of rhino horns are only advertising techniques that dishonesty applies to raise prices. All rhinos face the danger of extinction by an unscientific belief and evildoers who make huge profits by spreading fear into the minds of the rich.

Poachers often hunt rhinos in national reserves. Sometimes they bribe security guards to provide information about where rhinos often appear. On May 2, in an interview with AP, Antonio Abacar, a security guard in Great Limpopo Transfrontier National Park in Mozambique, admitted that many of his colleagues were complicit with poachers. According to him, 30 out of 100 national park security guards will have to stand trial for supporting rhino poachers.

Another species of rhino is also at risk of extinction. The Javan rhinoceros, an animal that lives in Southeast Asia, is the most endangered species of all rhinos today. Vietnam's last Javan rhino died in 2010.
