Rhino Poaching in South Africa

As we all know we have been made more aware of Rhino Poaching in South Africa, which has become a real problem for the conservation of Rhino.  So far this year more than 150 Rhinos have been poached. 

A local radio station has started a fund for the prevention of Rhino Poaching and has so far collected more than 1 million rand.  My main concern is where will these funds go to?   And who will keep control over it. 
I totally agree money should be collected for the conservation and preventing of poaching of the Rhino and more people should be made aware of the problem.  Millions and millions of dollars are being given to conservation instances like the Sea Shepard for the Saving of the Whales against mostly the senseless killing by the Japanese. (And I applaud Paul Watson and the Sea Shepard).

Should not the same attention be given to the prevention of the Rhino being poached to extintion.
