"We are South Africans. This is our heritage. You are hurting our country. Please stop." This is the message five young South Africans will convey to the Vietnamese government and its people next month.At a World Rhino Day celebration in iSimangaliso Wetland Park in St Lucia on the north coast, Project Rhino KZN announced that African dancer Phelisa Matyolo, Maritzburg College pupil Jared Robinson, Uplands College pupil Emma van der Meulen, Jacome Pretorius of Glenwood House and LatestSightings.com founder Nadav Ossendryver would travel to Vietnam to appeal to its people "to bring an end to the rhino-poaching crisis"."This is the first time South African youth have been invited to visit Vietnam - internationally recognised as a hub for the sale of rhino horn - to voice the rhinos' cause," said Project Rhino KZN co-ordinator Sheelagh Antrobus.She said the group will be guests of Operation Game Change - a joint Vietnam and US government initiative aimed at ending wildlife crime in Vietnam - and were selected for their activism against rhino poaching."They will present the World Youth wildlife declaration to Asian government representatives and engage directly with Vietnamese youth and leaders during their week-long visit at the end of October, speaking about their personal experiences of the rhino-poaching crisis in South Africa," Antrobus said.The country's latest plan is using young South Africans to strengthen the fight against poaching, which has already claimed 749 rhinos this year.Deputy Environmental Affairs Minister Barbara Thomson said: "The youth, as the moral, economic, political and thought leaders of tomorrow, are key in the battle that is being fought."They are the future conservation leaders and the generation that will influence the continued existence of legal and illegal wildlife markets, thus contributing to a decline in the consumption and demand for rhino horn."These young people are an important layer in our anti-poaching campaign."..
