Supplementary notes

The source states the following: "individual totals for pangolin, elephant and rhino ‘cases registered’ and ‘suspects arrested’ may add up to more than the totals in the ‘high-value species cases’ categories, because a number of cases and arrests may have involved more than one of the above species.''

* Meat species are defined in this report as giraffe, buffalo, zebras, antelopes and warthog.

** High-value species are defined as elephant, rhinoceroses (black and white rhinos combined) and pangolin.
