Namibia’s Etosha National Park bans drones to combat poaching ‘Namibia’s Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism has enacted a complete ban on the use of drones in Etosha National Park. This is due to escalating security concerns related to rhino poaching. While drones were previously allowed under stringent regulations, their unauthorized use has become more frequent. As reported by African Travel & Tourism Association (https://atta.travel/resource/namibia-bans-all-drones-in-etosha-national-park.html), this new measure aims to mitigate visitor disturbances and combat potential poaching activities. Etosha National Park is home to 72% of Namibia’s black rhino population. However, it has recently experienced a troubling increase in poaching, with 19 rhinos reported killed in the first quarter of 2024. The ministry has raised concerns that poachers could use drones to track rhinos, further endangering conservation efforts. As a result, a new policy has been implemented requiring visitors to leave drones at the park entrances, with no exceptions for their use within the park.’ SOURCE: https://www.getaway.co.za/travel-news/namibias-etosha-national-park-bans-drones-to-combat-poaching #rhino #rhinopoaching #namibia #antipoaching #africa #rhinoconservation (fb)

Study finds evidence that prehistoric rhinos lived in huge herds ‘Rhinos that flourished across much of North America 12 million years ago gathered in huge herds, according to a new study by the University of Cincinnati. Researchers studied the isotopes of rhino teeth found in what is now northeast Nebraska. Here, more than 100 rhinos (https://phys.org/tags/rhinos/) at a single water hole died and were entombed in ash from an eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Since the discovery of rhinos at Nebraska’s Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park in 1971, researchers have wondered what drew so many animals together in the same place. Did they converge from far away, perhaps to seek shelter from the unfolding natural disaster of the volcanic eruption with its choking ash? “We found they didn’t move very much,” lead author and UC graduate Clark Ward said. “We didn’t find evidence for seasonal migration or any evidence of a response to the disaster.”… Teleoceras major was a one-horned rhino with a barrel-shaped body and stubby legs like a hippo. Like hippos, they fed on grass. And like hippos, researchers think these rhinos spent a lot of time in and around water. Because of their vast size, they had few predators in the Miocene epoch, Ward said. But their calves would have been vulnerable to hyena-like predators called bone-crushing dogs. Indeed, some of the specimens found at the Nebraska site bear evidence that scavengers removed portions of their carcasses after they died. And ancient tracks from the 100-pound dogs have been found there.’ By Michael Miller , University of Cincinnati (http://www.uc.edu/) Source: https://phys.org/news/2025-04-evidence-prehistoric-rhinos-huge-herds #rhino #science #conservation #wildlife #fossils (fb)
