<h1>Causes</h1> <h1>Causes</h1>
<p>There are many causes of rhino poaching in Africa.</p>
<p>There are many causes of rhino poaching in Africa. Some of the main causes include poor regulation & a large black market for horns and other rhino products. Due to poor regulation and bad practices in African law enforcement, poaching has become very hard to regulate. Although laws are being put into place to conserve rhino populations, police are regularly taking bribes from poachers in return for "turning a blind eye." In many cases, there are also long-standing agreements between poachers and police officers, allowing poachers to continue hunting rhinos and other protected animals. The black market for rhino products has also been growing over the last few decades. Many people from Western countries believe that horns and other parts of rhinos have healing properties, and can cure diseases like cancer. This high demand for rhino products causes the prices to skyrocket, which urges the poachers to continue poaching rhinos to sell more product on the black market.</p>

<h1>Solutions</h1>
<p>Education of the public, in both Africa and other countries around the world, is one of the most important methods of solving rhino poaching. In Africa, police officers and civilians should be educated about the disastrous consquences of poaching rhinos and how they can prevent bribery in law enforcement. People in other parts of the world should be educated on how rhino products have <a href="https://www.fws.gov/le/pdf/2-21-12-Rhino-horn-factsheet.pdf">no medical value to humans</a>, and can't actually cure terminally ill people. More rigorous monitoring of trade channels and online marketplaces must also be put into place to make it harder for poachers to sell rhino products worldwide. Another potential solution to poaching of rhinos is to track all rhinos in Africa using low-power BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) sensors. These sensors can be made to track where rhinos are, how they're being approched by poachers, and their vital stats (heart rate, breathing, etc). By tracking the rhino population in this way, law enforcement will be able to find patterns in poacher movement and react quickly to new cases.</p>
