    The helmeted hornbills have recently fallen prey to human greed due to demand for products made with their horns. To learn more, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2Ny34B5

      Yes stopping the demand for them is key, than the suppliers will inevitably stop hunting them. HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT? Paying them off? Here the answer is either pay off the people selling them, threaten them, orr pay off the people buying them from the shops to never buy them again, ORRRRRR FLOOD THE MARKET WITH VERY GOOD FAKES THAT JUST MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE PROFIT LMFAOOOO

    Killing for the pleasure and greed of consumers. Great job, humans. It's like we're allergic to all things beautiful in this world, always having the urge to 'own' it. And for what? At what cost? Where do we really benefit from it, except perhaps that one day our children will learn its former existence just as how we have learned how the dinosaurs once roamed. Great video, National Geographic. Thanks for sharing.

      Botswana had that policy of zero tolerance and shoot to kill for their elephants and rhinos. At first, I thought it was a little extreme, but a few days ago, the new president revoked the law regarding anti poacher defense to be armed, that the previous president, Ian Khama(son if the first president, Seretse Khama) devoted his term to. Only a few days later, nearly 90 elephants were killed by poachers, who had previously not dared to cross into Botswana. Now im rethinking, and maybe that armed anti poaching defense was absolutely necessary.
