Just a little OT , just announcing we have the African/Asian trade threatening the Black African Rhino & other relatives to extinction , just curious to know how young Erita & her generation are taught & feel about these issues of saving threatened species in the schools there ?

We know that the black markets are hard to control , look at opium in afghanistan but 100th of 1%
of what we spend on Afghanistan in a year would prolly help prevent this , or a month <g

In 2011, more than 340 rhinos have been killed so far in South Africa -- more than for the whole of 2010 which was itself a record year, according to the World Wildlife Fund
