Johnny Rodrigues of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force writes in his latest newsletter:

<i>We now have pleasure in announcing that 4 men have been arrested and have been sentenced to 28 years in prison.

The men are soldiers in the Zimbabwean army and were responsible for the deaths of 17 rhino this year, including the 3 that were shot recently at Chivero National Park. Two Chinese men were allegedly behind the poaching, one of whom immediately flew back to China upon the arrest of the poachers. The other one has disappeared. </i>
