Rhino poaching in South Africa fell 16% in 2025, but the number of killings in Kruger National Park doubled to 175. This surge coincides with a sharp drop in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, attributed to a dehorning operation. Officials link the shift to poachers dispersing from areas with enhanced security.
