@Regrann from @dp4k.m - #Repost @unitedforwildlife.uae Swaziland unveils plan to legalise rhino horn to pay for anti-poaching efforts Leaked document shows proceeds from the sale of 330kg stockpile would be used to protect country’s 73 white rhinos from poaching The kingdom of Swaziland has made a surprise proposal to legalise the trade in rhino horn in order to pay for anti-poaching measures. In a leaked document addressed to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites), Swaziland’s anti-poaching body said it wanted to sell the country’s 330kg stockpile of horn collected from naturally deceased animals and confiscated from poachers. It said the sale to the traditional medicine markets of the far east would generate $9.9m, which would be used to protect the tiny landlocked country’s 73 white rhinos from poaching. #rhinohorntrade #illegalwildlifecrime #illegalwildlifetrade #rhinohornisnotmedicine #China #vietnam #uae #asia #Africa #southafrica #savethespecies #protectwildlife #donotlegalizerhinohorn #Regrann
