      Actually it's probably the best idea ever. The habit of invasive species to flourish in environments they're not native to, as long as theyre a rather slow breeding species like Rhinos and easy to control, is fantastic since they wont have anything stopping them. Also you cant tell me it wouldnt be cool to drive into the outback and see a rhino just chilling

      That is true, but you also have some examples of how some introduced species can be good:
      The dung beetles to help dispose of livestock dung to deal with the blow flies and the cactoblastis insects to deal with the prickly pear cactus, you could even say some of the diseases that help decimate rabbit populations over there could also be an example.

      Well, apart from creating refuges in the developed world for rhinos (and the fact that rhinos aren't toads, they're not gonna multiply like crazy), Australia used to have large megafauna before humans arrived. One of those especies, Diprotodon, is believed to have had a similar ecological niche to rhinoceros. So rhinos could actually be beneficial to Australia, unlike horses or camels that had no equivalent.
      Obviously this is untested theory, and it would need to be tested in some plot of australian land. But if doing so not only shows beneficial results from rhino browsing behaviour, but also helps them escape extinction, well, why not?

    I worked with the indian and black rhinos at my local zoo, not only are they surprisingly fast and agile but smart too. Our black rhino was shy, so when his hay was put in the outside yard in the morning he would run out of the barn, grab a mouthful of hay, and run back inside before the gates could close. Everyone I've talked to who has worked with white rhinos has said they are incredibly tactile animals who love to be pet and scratched not unlike a dog.

Oddly enough they are worth millions not just for tourism but older bulls are a risk to the population as they will kill calves that don't belong to them so occasionally they hold raffles to hunt a rhino and the one I heard about went for 6 million and it mostly went to the conservation of the species.

So most poachers are just not going to risk all that IF they actually have a decent standard of living where they aren't living in abject poverty wondering how they will feed their families. Just think about it, why do 99% of people with a stable income don't go around robbing and stealing?

    Narrow-Nosed Rhinos (genus Stephanorhinus) and Woolly Rhinos (genus Coelodonta) are most closely related to each other, they also happen to have become extinct, while both genera became extinct, this did not mean they are ancestors of modern rhinos, but instead were nestled within modern rhino lineages, Diceros, which includes the black rhino and Ceratotherium, which contains the white rhino, Rhinoceros, also known as the asian one-horned rhinos, that contain the only two extant rhino species with only one horn on their snouts are the most distantly related from all the other groups, meaning that many species of living rhino are more closely related to the extinct narrow-nosed rhinos and woolly rhinos than they are to the modern one-horned rhinos, surprisingly, the closest living relative of the narrow-nosed rhinos and woolly rhinos are in fact the smallest living rhino species, which is the sumatran rhino, which is Asia's only living rhino with two horns.

    One of the best long-term solutions is probably to educate former poachers and give them jobs protecting the rhinos they used to hunt. This both gives more protection to rhino populations and gives impoverished people who would otherwise turn to poaching a steady income.

      Horrifyingly depraved punishments such as flaying, can be very effective at achieving certain goals. Just ask the Assyrians. But effective doesn't equate to best practices. How to skin someone alive shouldn't be part of the institutional knowledge of any group of healthy, righteous people, who are trying to confront the terrifying challenges of the world, without losing their own humanity. So ok, let's say a poacher gets caught, and it's time to skin him. Are you asking for volunteers? And anyone who volunteers for that job, you're telling me you want to be associated with that person? That's who you want on your team? And if there are no volunteers, are you going to order someone who doesn't want to do this disgusting act, to do it? Are you going to do it publicly, round up all the locals, make everyone watch? If all the adults are there, they'll have to bring the kids with them. Doing any of these things is not only morally wrong, it's bad strategy in the long run. You won't make people afraid of killing rhinos, you'll make them hate you, and maybe they'll just kill even more rhinos to spite you, but at least then you'll have more people to skin! To be clear, killing poachers in gun battles or sentencing them to death and carrying said sentence out in a non gratuitous way that doesn't demean and dehumanize everyone involved, that's not what I'm talking about. What I am saying is that retribution is not justice. Would you skin a rhino alive if it trampled your mother to death? Of course not! But maybe you'd have to put that rhino down, but hopefully you wouldn't feel good about it. I'm not attacking your passion for this issue, nor am I belittling your desire to inflict punishment on poachers. I just think you should consider the ramifications of what you're advocating. On a final note, there's a video from years ago of a man being whipped to death, supposedly filmed during the Russian invasion of the Crimea. When it popped up on twitter and facebook, every upload had a different title. The victim was described as being a drug dealer, a pedophile, a traitor to the Russian paras, a traitor to the Ukrainian paras, etc. So with no way to know for sure if this guy was guilty of anything, what you saw was a man chained to a post being whipped to death with electrical chords by guys in masks who were laughing and drinking. I don't think there's any amount of context that makes what they did to that guy, ok. If you can watch that kind of brutality, and give it a thumbs up, as long as it happened to the right person, someone who you think deserves it, I think that's something worth reflecting on. Are you positive that this is who you are and what you stand for?

    Afrikaans speaker here. In Afrikaans the white rhino is called "witrenoster" which translates to... well; white rhino. I've personally never heard the story of wyd (wide) being the origin, but I guess it's a possibility
    EDIT: Side note on poaching and conservation efforts. Something quite small that really shows how dire the situation is, is found in the Kruger National Park's map/information booklets. These booklets also state how many of each animal live in the park, except for rhinos. Their number is kept a secret in order to protect them. It's really a shame that a park as big and successful as Kruger park still runs the risk of having their rhinos killed, despite all the effort they put into protecting them.
    Side side note: It is obviously important to talk about and fight against the poaching of endangered species, but it's also important to fight against poaching in general. Up until not too long ago, Elephants were near extinction as well. Their numbers have grown over the past few years, but they're still low. It's a sad reality of many animals.
    Poaching is a big problem in South Africa, and Africa as a whole. I can really only speak about South Africa, as that's where I live. Poaching is out of control. From major wildlife parks and conservations all the way down to small individual farms. On our farm we routinely have to walk through the farm to remove traps. I'm talking about 50+ traps a week at times; and it's just a small farm, half of it being agricultural at that.

      not even comparable to the species accidentally introduced before, first you're not going to lose track of a goddamn rhino, second they reproduce very slowly (whole reason they are nearly extinct) and third they would occupy a niche that nothing has occupied in Australia in 10,000 years it would be beneficial to the ecology of the continent to have a megafaunal animal back in the ecocsytem.

    A not so friendly solution is a favorite of mine. Mercenaries are being hired as security for rhino and elephants. I heard some even volunteer when they hear they are hunting the poachers of these incredible animals. It's not pleasant , but it helps. This was started because poachers are flying up in helicopters shooting the animals from the air and dropping down to harvest the rhino horn and elephant tusks for ivory. So they gear up to hunt and defend the animals from the helicopters . Which also tends to make them run away when it's suddenly a combat zone with flairs and explosions and automatic gun fire....so the animals run away while the humans fight. Not pretty ,but I like it because it helps now while longer term solutions are out in place. Would it not be amazing to follow around a heard of giant animals In something like an armored vehicle...we need to make tanks look like elephants lol. Paint them grey , add tusks to the turret ..and ears and the cannon barrel will be the trunk...fun!
