Description
Summary:Updated poaching statistics for 2019 are listed in Table 1. Encouragingly overall reported (minimum) poaching levels have continued to decline to 2.09 a day.  This represents a 43.5% decline since peak levels in 2015. Since the last edition of Pachyderm was published we have learned about another 2 southern white rhino that were poached in the DR Congo in 2018 that increases the revised 2018 total by 2. Les statistiques mises à jour sur le braconnage pour 2019 sont énumérées dans le Tableau 1. Il est encourageant de constater que les niveaux de braconnage (minimum) globaux rapportés ont continué de baisser à 2,09 par jour. Cela représente une baisse de 43,5% depuis les pics de 2015. Depuis la publication de la dernière édition de Pachyderm, nous avons appris l'existence de 2 autres rhinocéros blancs du sud qui ont été braconnés en RD Congo en 2018, ce qui augmente le total révisé de 2018 de 2.
