I spent from November 1986 to November 1989 working in Zimbabwee for the department of Veterinary Services. I kept a very dose eye on your magazine's details about the rhino poaching and unfortunately believe your figures of poached rhino to be way below the actual number of carcasses fotmd. My last two weeks in that country were spent in Hwange National Park- during that period alone 10 black rhino were killed in the park by two different groups of Zambian poachers, and one Zimbabwe scout was shot (not fatally) by one of the Zambian poachers. Every time I stayed at Mana Pools National Park, the Zimbabwe anti-poaching units were out looking for Zambian poachers after butchered, dehorned carcasses of black rhino had been found. If any of your authors are compiling information on Zimbabwe rhino poaching, I would be willing to supply names and addresses of people in authority in Zimbabwe who can provide details about numbers shot.
