Feature: Namibia is dehorning rhinos to deter poachers


WINDHOEK, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Namibia, home to the only and largest population of free-roaming black rhinos in the world, is aggressively implementing dehorning measures to save the endangered species from being illegally slaughtered for its horns.

Namibia has so far this year lost about 48 rhinos, with poachers reported to be moving away from illegally killing rhinos in well-protected national parks to target private and custodianship farms.
