In a quest to understand the true horror of poaching, wildlife photographer Adrian Steirn has come up close to dehorned rhinos, and even closer to the men carrying out the bloodshed. What he’s uncovered is a reality not many would like to consider. “Nobody grows up wanting to be a poacher,” Steirn says. “I’ve been in the jails. I’ve watched these guys be beaten.
