I've read about two major conservation techniques:
Guns and Fences, which gets a bad rap for putting off the inevitable
and
Community Conservation
I'm wondering which one is more effective, and where? When I mean more effective, I mean it has to be cost effective, result on population effective (rhino population in the area increases), and people effective (people benefit).
Thanks!

Sorry to say this, but
(1) as long as a rhino horn is valued 100.000 €, which is probably the equivalent of 10.000.000 € in Europe
and (2) as long as criminal gangs, who can just push the local population aside, target the rhinos
I see the only way to save them, especially the Indonesian species, is 24 h protection by armed rangers. Non-bribed armed rangers. Non-bribed armed rangers supported by non-bribed government officials.
This would not be too expensive (cheaper than air-lifting a 3-footed rhino for a PR-stunt) - and therefore will not happen.
