- An Al Jazeera undercover team penetrated the network of dealers, agents and traffickers who profit from the multi-million dollar trade in Rhino horn. An illegal business that is decimating the Rhino population close to the point of extinction.
Our reporters discovered that members of the Chinese President’s delegation went on an illegal spending spree in South Africa to buy ivory and rhino horn and smuggled the products back to China, according to revelations to be broadcast by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit.
In a six-month long investigation the Al Jazeera team also filmed a Chinese businessman, based in South Africa, describing his dealings in rhino horn and how he escapes prosecution. “Everything in Africa is based on money”, he says.
Al Jazeera shows exclusive footage shot secretly in a village near the Vietnamese capitol, Hanoi, which is a hub of wildlife trafficking. Despite a massive dossier of evidence on over fifty dealers in the village selling horn, ivory, tiger skins and lion bones, to the Vietnamese Government, no official action has been taken to close down the trade.
About twenty five thousand rhino are left in Africa. Six thousand have been killed in the last decade. The largest concentration of rhino is in South Africa and the Kruger National Park has become the major killing field, with two or three animals shot every night by local poachers.

respect to Al Jazeera for the brave investigation
Thank you.
@@aljazeeraenglish Wonder if the ex US military and other protection oragnizations are using drones to cover crucial areas to easier spot these crooks in the sanctuary?
Well done Al Jazeera for getting this out there. I'd urge anybody who cares enough to watch this to share it as often as possible. only through continued exposure can we embarrass action from China.
Thank you @Al Jazeera English for making the effort to bring this issue to the global audience.
The problems are the Chinese....
They still are a problem.
Unbelievable. Something is seriously wrong with their culture imo.
Even though our culture kills animals for food, i still think theyre in a whole new level.
I can't believe they allow a Chinese man to own a private reserve farm for Rhinos in South Africa, Really!
its shocking, the South African government must wake up
Money is true the source of all evils
@@langutaninwamba9668 Oh, they're awake, they're getting paid.
Greed
@@martinwong6628 Money is not it is the persons holding it who is the problem
Great investigative work . More of this brave journalism is needed ! Good job
As an Asian American, I'd like to apologize to the rest of humanity for being so grueling barbaric towards our sweet animals smh. Very saddening and it's heartbreaking to see the lack of emotion towards these beautiful creatures. Gracious Lord have mercy!!
PUT SOME RESPECK ON MY NAME why are you feeling guilt for something you have no say in nor even did?
Ketos Eris no guilt. just sadness for humanity.
Ketos Eris that is explained in what he originally says.
As an American citizen..I find myself CONSTANTLY apologizing for the havoc of my government so I know the feeling but knowing the feeling I can say that if you are not part of the solutions that you are part of the problem... and I believe that realizing that it is wrong and trying to communicate that not everyone has the same beliefs! So respect to you S.M
As a human, I feel the same way.
Absolutely shocking behavior by ANC government in South Africa :(
wow being the undercover dude must be absolutely nerve-racking
That you Al jazeera for more awareness and evidences. This is the most combacting video i have ever watched on poaching.
Heartbreaking
Poaching should be dealt with like terrorism.
No it shouldn't. Killing animal is not same as killing people.
Why did this series stop? I think it's more crucial than ever.... Please keep it up..
Thanks Al-Jazeera ...
I am astounded by this thing ...
I can't even believe that these things happen... while poaching and trafficking....
Kudos to you team Al-Jazeera..
I'm quite more sadned after watching this story ...
I love animals particularly that are from African Grasslands ,.
It hurts to see ,💔 losing my childhood favorites...
I hope in future when i am fully grown up I will Help Anti poachers In sha Allah (God Willing)
Lot's of love Team Al-Jazeera from Indian subcontinent .. ♥️ misunderstanding
Kudos to Jeremy Young and his talented team. 100% Tazi powered music and camera work by none other than Craig Pennington.... with additional consulting from one other transnational organized crime investigator friend of mine Gretchen Peters. This is some of the best stuff on TV right now people. Nice work guys!

Bravo 👍to investigate journalists
The Kenyatta family has been involved in ivory trade for over 50 years.
s bags
Is there a documentary on that
@@njonjokibera9587 on Google Books there's a New Scientist article from 1975 that names both Mama Ngina and Margaret Kenyatta who was Nairobi Mayor at the time.
I'm speechless
We are screwed man. Our country is going down due to greedy and flawed laws. This is very sad
We need to get together and fight these people. Many of them are mad men with no sense of empathy, who couldn't care less about anyone or anything.
When there aren't any Rhinos, Lions, Elephants or Pangolins left, it will be human bones that are most in demand most probably.
Rhino horn is made of keratin the same substance found in our nails.
A sitting minister involved in such heinous scandal. What are the world authorities doing about such horrible people!! How sad
We live in a time in America when, in order to get real news and insights, you have to go to foreign media, including, yes, even Russia TV and Al-Jazeera. The tragedy of poaching is off limits to US media because it involves two PC taboos: extreme corruption in Africa (especially in post-Mandela's So. Africa) and the barbarity of East Asian cultures.
Andrzej Olszewski fasinating statement! So u say that your media is turning a blind eye to corruption in Africa? I can imagine you are only shown images of hungry Ethiopian kids.
Andrzej Olszewski I don't think so. American news coverage mainly focuses on domestic issues and any worldly news that affects US interests. That's the reason why I resort to aljazeera or BBC since US lacks coverage on international issues. It's not because of PC culture.
Andrzej Olszewski not forgetting the US media is implicated in corruption in the US as well, they are part of the looting cos they 2 are paid by those sellouts in government. So you don't have to look any further for that, hence I don't watch that garbage anymore
Andrzej Olszewski real 💩
With China's slowing economy, I can only hope that there'll be less poaching.
I thought communists hated capitalism
And the free market ? Liars
These journalists very brave they risks their own lives to these videos
Africa unit 2 save your future
Next biggest export from SA should be all those involved
Respect to the al zejeera❤❤❤❤❤
great doco but frustrating subtitles
This is so upsetting
Tour Soweto Ilan Ossendryver
I'm trying to go to africa to help these animals. It would be hard not to wanna go out and try to dismember a poacher.
I'm DISGUSTED
if this racketing is to the very top we can all see the writing on the wall it will take every country united without backing down to control the poaching the stopping of it seems unstoppable! the high rank ppl involved allowed this trade to get so strong that its nearly impossible to totally stop the trade unless something comes up more valuable than rhino horns for so-called cancer and medicine all the animals might just be wiped out in less than 10 years this task to stop this type of evil is mountainous...
Humans are amazing creatures. They have the ability to be smart enough to land a remote control toy on the surface of the planet Mars, and they also have the ability to be so stupid that they think they have to try their hardest to make megafauna extinct because there is apparently no other way of harvesting what every properly trained alchemist knows as keratin.
so sad, so sad its a sad sad situation
the problem is in 4y theres less than 1k likes. 200k views WTF
Can't we plant tracking devises in ivory, wether it be in tusks, or horns, to catch these people????
I dont think you understand. They are caught but bribe their way out every time. All corrupt
Threaten Moz with suspension of trade ties - to whatever extent - and things would happen. But the buddy network seems impossible to break, stronger than species extinction. Incedible.
So not saying the minister is guilty as they will investigate. But Ive got 2 questions.1. The minister earns a lot. Why go to a cheap Chinese Massage parlour? Surely a person of his class can afford much better. 2. Why is no one asking why he went to a this type of massage parlour. Its common knowledge they only massage your hidden parts. He should tell us more about this.
You answered your question yourself!
Por favor gente q nos pasa ya Basta de tanto abuso
When the government of another country is involved, you know the police cant solve it.
can't they provide cameras on every few corners attached to trees in conspicous places etc?
needs military protection
did they put the rhno horn dealer n prison
4 years later and we still have rhinos thankfully
the corruption on this planet is unbelievable
So according to eNCA "The minister has asked the Mpumalanga police commissioner to probe all allegations made against him in the documentary. He has also asked for the rhino poaching claims to be investigated"I thought Guan Jing Guang made it clear that it was not the minister, BUT HIS WIFE who handles the "deals" - so they will most likley not find anything - against him.Will his wife be investigated as well? In 2011 is Sheryl Cwele who was convicted of drug trafficking, then wife of State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele.Why twice the State Security Ministers??????
China is involved (and Asia) in 90% îf not more in this horrible, inhumane, unsustainable, cruel and downright selfish trade
Equivalent exchange kill the human if the human kills the animal
Now you start to wonder if the Chinese noodles you're eating is really made with rice or flour???
Stop rino kills and trades yes. Aim to preserve and protect what is given to us, lives of human or animals!
We are humans, made to save and protect, animals can't be made by humans; so stop killing them for illigal trading!
I really hopes this is an eye opener and that actions will be taken!
It's David Mahlobo not Mashlobo.
Good to save animals live 💝💝💝🌷👍👍👍
Minister of State Security David Mahlobo linked to rhino poaching
PsYcHZ I'm so ashamed.
Humans are the worst animals
The Untouchables.
Or continuously trim down the horns and tusks to wild endangered beasts, to lessen the chances of death towards our national animal treasures. We have resources making it possible to have "baby sitters" 24/7!!!! Action needs to be taken!! Now!!
Lol not only in South Africa 🇿🇦
11:47 omg! did he just say that??
this is mean thats sad this is not right
Busted!
i dont wanna lose the rhino thats my favorite animal ):
There should be a shaming campaign for those possessing accessories made from animal parts.
Y not execute people smuggling
One of these years elephants and rhinos will go extinction on this planet. Too much selfishness.
...that bullet though...
How a vietnamese can own a game reserve in south africa .the anc goverment is very corrupt in south africa
When she said it seems by 2020 it seems that there not going to be any rhino left I was happy that it 2021 and there support and them risking there life's for the rhinos to not die out help them live there not all gone yet
Any one else doing online geography homework?
This amazing animals need more protection from this horrible monster's!!!!
Disgusting humains...
wild life protection is a joke just see here ever never can be stopped ?
First government should arrest dealer
sad
I feel good that this people are risking there life to save a gergous creature and happy that the rhino are not gone she said it seems there will be gone by 2020 but it's 2020 Soo I think they did a good job
Simply putting the BLAME upon wise Chinese people's is not Acceptable because they use Few wild animals Residue just to include in their Traditional medicine which finally does GOODNESS for others and so where is the Crime here.
Very sad that more sting operations are not in place to get to syndicates.. no use going after poachers only.. they get out of jail anyway
Shoot poachers on sight
is it me or did a cheetah walk past at 22:56
Rhino horn DOSENT MAKE YOUR PEE PEE GROW
This is why Xi Jin Ping promotes traditional Chinese medicine.
Rhino horn is merely hair & fingernail . Barber shops & nail salons could supply those w/ 3-D printers to create excellent replicas to flood the black market w/. Who would really know the difference ?
World wide justice 😂🤣😂🤣Ran by the Yanks ....infiltrated by cia/FBI no doubt...great cover ...
has anyone mention to this people that they can used temote airplanes "drones" with night vision cameras at 1000 ft high and do surveillance on the animals and possibly the poachets.
magaiver money 💰 ? The government of South Africa doesn't give Jackshit about the poaching
Tim Ewert
people talk about government and the middle man ... in reality the main source is wirh the animals and the poachers as if you track the animals with radio collars and having a remote control plane with infrared capabilities as long is been tracked properly you easily see who is tracking animal to kill and they can be cut during, before, or after. meanwhile you already have a record of whom was in the area at that time ... and if you ask about government funding tou and I know is that if a fundme, paypal, pateion, etc can be set to donate for the cost. they need the guidance to follow option even if the government looks the other way.
the very same people who made this documentary can easily start a program to supply drones to the ones that care.
the chinese presindent visit tanzanias is trade personal plane cargo rhino
Expose dem
On my land !!! 😡 hunting !
Why doesn't the reserve just cut the horns off, least these creatures won't go extinct
humanless
They need some Deer cameras with infared
where is Justice. thank you so much to all who of the people who do justly regardless, the world would be the best place if every one was as such divine & magnificent people. I can not wait for when all of those disgusting, shallow people would realize that their behaviors are utterly horrifically harmful and somehow they will pay dearly one way or another
I'm sick and tired of these pop-ups on TH-cam videos.
If i had my way, I would like those Rhinos avenge their death using their horn.
why not grow the desired bones to the tunes of tonnes in the laboratories, 22oct2017
Nossa tem que deter estes casadores de rinocerontes. Eu Deus se contiuar vai acabar com os animais
a conditioned tunnel system for authorities will do in this area
we have to know that African we on you own ............................. we dont have leaders at all
deal with the minister and those Asians in Africa
According to tRump there's plenty of "rino's" here.
#RhinohornCoffee #IAPF
😂😂😂😂😂
ha ha ha ha ha ha nothing will happen unless you have a dedicated wing of the military with a mission of zero tolerance against poaching, meaning 'shoot to kill' otherwise your wasting your time
