'Endangered means we still have time, but extinction is forever'
Grant Fowlds What would drive a man to 'smuggle' rhino horn back
into Africa at great risk to himself? This is just one of the
situations Grant Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing
fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern
Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam.
Shavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil 'cure' for colds or
impotence, but a rhino's horn has no magical, medicinal properties.
It is for this that rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating
rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This
corrupt, illegal war on wildlife has brought an iconic animal to
the brink of extinction. Growing up on a farm in the eastern Cape
of South Africa, Grant developed a deep love of nature, turning his
back on hunting to focus on saving wildlife of all kinds and the
environment that sustains both them and us. He is a passionate
conservationist who puts himself on the front line of protecting
rhinos in the wild - right now, against armed poachers; but in the
longer term, too, through his work with schoolchildren, communities
and policymakers.
