"Poaching" is when people ("poachers") illegally kill a wild animal.

This year so far 341 rhinos have been poached in South Africa.

That's the most, ever, for one year.

Rhino horns are believed by some people, particularly in Asia, to be able to cure ailments like nosebleeds and fevers.

No one knows if this is actually true.
