# Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment minister, Dion George, says 103 rhinos were poached between January and March this year. Most rhinos were killed in South African National Parks reserves, with KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo also recording notable losses. No rhinos were killed in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, or Northern Cape. George has welcomed the arrests of 15 suspects so far and says the government will continue strengthening anti-poaching strategies to protect endangered species.
