WINDHOEK, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Namibia has recorded eight rhino poaching incidences since January this year, spokesperson for the Environment and Tourism Ministry said on Tuesday.
Romeo Muyunda said that five of the rhinos were poached in Etosha National Park, while the other three were poached in private farms.
The recent poaching comes despite the establishment of an Anti- Poaching Unit last year to help curb poaching.
By October last year, 27 rhinos were poached compared to 60 in 2016 and 95 in 2015.
