We are proud to announce that Neville Ngomane is the winner of the Young Environmental Photographer of the Year 2019. This shocking image is of a rhino is being de-horned in an attempt to protect it from being poached. With the current severe level of poaching, experts recommend that rhinos should be dehorned every 12-24 months to effectively deter poachers. Neville Ngomane commented "This was not an easy watch." #rhino #animalwelfare #poaching #endangered #animals # winner # photography #SouthAfrica #wildife
