• Killing of Rhinos in Namibia
  The number of endangered rhinos poached in Namibia last year was the highest on record and almost twice as many as the year before, officials say.
  
  A total of 87 rhinos were killed compared with 45 in 2021, official government data show.
  
  Most were poached in Etosha, Namibia's biggest national park, officials say.
  
  Rhino numbers in Africa have dropped significantly in recent decades to feed demand for rhino horn in China and Vietnam.
