Abstract: 

Considering that more than 190 African game park rangers have been killed since 2009, 32 in the 12-month period from July 2015 alone, and dozens are wounded annually in combat against poachers, it is evident that a low-level war is taking place. Foreign entities, specifically Asian nations, are responsible for the killings to meet their people's appetite for elephant tusks and rhino horn.
