There is no single method for its protection, and the pressing need is for a wide range of coordinated activities. 

To stop rhino poaching, it is essential to have a team of agents in the field who are well trained and properly equipped, motivated and correctly deployed, as they face dangerous situations in the field every day.

They are trained to detect scents of rhino horn, weapons or ammunition, and are prepared to attack and detain suspected poachers, supporting the human guide who directs and trains them.
