The Last Rhino, watch and weep

By The Ridge Magazine15/11/20121 Min Read

If you are looking for documentaries that are factually made, and have been funded correctly, the station to tune to these days is Al Jazeera.  Although many people associate the station with anti Western sentiment, it is fast becoming the go to source for wildlife documentaries of all kinds.

Tonight at ten, it will quietly be broadcasting what will undoubtedly become the definitive documentary on rhino poaching in South Africa.  The reason is that enough funds and personnel have been put onto the subject, and have even taken the initiative to cross into Mozambique and the source of many of the problems.

Mozambique is poised on the cusp between the modern world and impoverished Africa, with one of the few ways out being poaching.  Long queues of children wait in line for their turn at the poaching game.

At the same time we see the Middle Eastern destinations for the horns, piled high with the spoils of the poaching trade.  It is not easy viewing, but if you can, sit through it, it asks the right questions, and travels to the right places.  To save our rhinos, knowing the facts can only help.
