The other main area in Asia where rhinos are being poached extensively is Sumatra. There are approximately 600 Sumatran rhinos on the island. Raleigh Blouch, who carried out fieldwork there in the early and middle 1980s, estimated that a minimum of 10 to 20 rhinos were killed each year during this period . Other experts, such as Francesco Nardelli, believe that the true figure is substantially higher . Most of this horn was being sent to Singapore which is still the world's main market for Sumatran horn.
