What would drive a man to smuggle rhino horn back into Africa at great risk to himself? This is just one of the situations Grant Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam.

Shavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil cure for colds or impotence, but a rhino's horn has no magical, medicinal properties. It is for this that rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This corrupt, illegal trade is threatening the very existence of these magnificent animals, and it is up to individuals like Grant Fowlds to take action to protect them.

Grant Fowlds is a passionate conservationist who has dedicated his life to saving the last rhinos from extinction. He has worked tirelessly to combat poaching, which is the primary threat to the survival of these magnificent animals.

One of the most significant challenges facing rhino conservation is the illegal trade in rhino horn. Rhino horn is believed to have medicinal properties in some cultures, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. However, the demand for rhino horn is high, and it is being sold for millions of dollars on the black market. This has led to the slaughter of thousands of rhinos, and it is threatening the survival of the species.

Grant Fowlds has been working to combat this illegal trade by working with law enforcement agencies and governments around the world. He has also been involved in operations to catch poachers and to destroy the stockpiles of rhino horn that are being held by criminal organizations.

Despite these efforts, the illegal trade in rhino horn continues to be a major threat to the survival of the species. It is up to all of us to take action to combat this trade and to protect these animals and their habitats.

In conclusion, the remarkable story of Grant Fowlds is a testament to his dedication and courage in the fight against poaching.
