Vietnam needs to cooperate with South Africa to stop illegal trade in rhino horn as the number of the animals poached in South Africa is on course to reach a record, the African country’s Department of Environmental Affairs said.

“We can only end poaching and smuggling if it is addressed along the entire trade chain,” Mavuso Msimang, Rhino Issue Manager for the department said in a report released today. “We hope South Africa and Vietnam can actively collaborate.”
