It is estimated that three rhinos are killed every day, and the western black rhino is already extinct.

Since 2012, China has made building ecological civilization a development priority, with the protection of its fauna and flora, including wildlife, a crucial element, says Blake.

From 2013 to 2016, China organized and led worldwide cooperation against rhinoceros horn smuggling alongside international law enforcement agencies, conservation groups and authorities from other countries and regions.

The anti-smuggling bureau of China's General Administration of Customs last year filed 1,223 criminal cases involving wildlife trafficking, arrested 2,196 suspects, and broke up more than 200 criminal gangs in China and abroad, according to the Animal Welfare Institute.

The administration organized and participated in numerous national and international operations to combat wildlife crimes.
