Poor Hippos!
Posted: Fri May 28, 2010 10:04 pm
Heres an article in 2003 which talks about 27000 hippos being wiped out by poachers.This was (95%) of the population.
This article urges th authorities to do something lest they get wiped out.
The second article article is from 2006 stating the same population has reduced by another one third. and still urging the authorities to do something.
I wonder how many are still left in 2010.
I continue with these pessimistic stories despite them being sad. Hope it brings a bit of awareness amongst our users.
