POACHERS SAID TO BE PUSHING ASIAN RHINOS TO EXTINCTION

 

The already endangered Asian rhino is being pushed

toward extinction by a boom in poaching to feed the

trade in so-called traditional medicines, the

conservation organization WWF-International said

Wednesday. Latest surveys show there are only 2,900

of the horned animals left in their one-time extensive

range, from Pakistan across northern India and down

through Southeast Asia into Vietnam and Indonesia, the

body said.
