Abstract: The article discusses increases in rates of rhinoceros horn poaching in South Africa despite a ban on international horn trade by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). The African white rhinoceros had overcome extinction but is at risk due to high levels of poaching in South Africa, which contains the majority of the world's rhinoceros population, despite police attempts to arrest poachers. The article attributes the increase in poaching to increased interest in traditional medicine in Vietnam, where rhinoceros horn is reputed to cure cancer, and China. The author discusses rhinoceros breeding programs in China that provide horns to pharmaceutical companies and new tools to harvest horns from live rhinoceroses.
