For years, park rangers in South Africa have tried to stop poachers who kill rhinos for their valuable horns. But it's impossible to keep up–and rhinoceros populations have continued to fall. Bloomberg Businessweek contributor Jonathan Franklin reports that now, the rangers are taking a creative new approach to outmaneuver the poachers—and protect the animals.

Episode 2 of this season attracted a lot of interest and comment, we answer your questions in this episode:The Platinum Rhino auction fails to solicit a successful bidder – what's next for Hume and his rhino? We give the updates.Rhino Horn trade is unlikely, but the current revenue models are also flawed – what are the challenges in innovating a new approach where renewables, carbon markets, ESG investments and the like are combined? Why is trade so challenging, surely we can flood the market? We discuss the challenges in opening the rhino horn trade and why we should be skeptical of trade while there are so many unanswered questions. How much does it cost to implement and run an anti-poaching unit? Are we over-investing in the militarization of conservation? We discuss the different approaches and the costs experienced in creating, implementing, and operating an APU.

Aufgrund der angespannten Corona-Lage gibt es wieder einen neuen Beitrag von Matthias Horx, dessen Blick in die Zukunft und auf all das Erreichte, unabhängig von Corona, ich immer sehr wohltuend finde. Dennoch meine große Bitte. Lass Dich Impfen. Hol Dir die Auffrischung. Und halt nochmal durch, auch wenn erneute Einschränkungen nicht schön sind. Gesellschaft vor Individualismus. Wissenschaftlich fundierte Fakten vor Meinungen und Gefühlen. Der nachfolgende Text stammt aus der Zukunfts-Kolumne von Matthias Horx: www.horx.com/die-zukunfts-kolumne Siehe auch: www.zukunftsinstitut.de. Eine kleine Zukunfts-Meditation © Julian Horx, www.julian-horx.com Nun ist es wieder passiert. Zu grauen und nebeligen Tagen hebt wieder der große Angst- und Schreckens-Gesang an, diesmal mehr mit Wut vermischt. Viele Menschen fallen wieder in einen Taumel von Angst und Verwirrung. von Vorwurf und Verzweiflung. Wir kehren in die Spirale des destruktiven Streits zurück. Destruktiver Streit, wie wir ihn heute wieder über Corona pflegen, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass man in innerhalb des Streites nicht mehr weiterkommt. Man tappt sozusagen im Nebel. Destruktiver Streit basiert auf dem Prinzip des Gegenruhms: Eine endlose Mühle von Meinungen und Schuldzuweisungen, die in sich selbst festgefahren sind und sich gegenseitig hochschaukeln. Staatsversagen! Die Politik ist schuld! Freiheitsberaubung! Ich dreh gleich durch! Alles Idioten! Meinungskriege sind in ihrem Wesen narzisstisch, weil sie nicht dem Finden eines Weges dienen, sondern dem Inszenieren der eigenen Konstrukte. Destruktiven Streit erkennt man daran, dass er nur Erregungen, keine Reflexion zulässt. Re-flexion heißt ja, dass man miteinander Aspekte der Wirklichkeit »re-flektiert«. Also sich gegenseitig auf dem Weg in eine gemeinsame Wirklichkeit begleitet. So haben es, wie es aussieht, die Neo-Koalitionäre in Deutschland gemacht. Es geht also, auch bei hochkomplexen Dingen! „Reflektieren erfordert eine unterstützende, sanfte Einstimmung auf das Selbst statt einer urteilenden Haltung, die verhört und abwertet. Reflexion ist ein mitfühlender Geisteszustand.” So formulierte es der Transformationspsychologe Daniel J. Siegel in seinem Buch „Mindsight” (Goldmann-Verlag, S. 71). Aber was tun man, wenn man mit einem aussichtslosen fraktalen Meinungskrieg konfrontiert ist? Dann ist es ratsam, sich bewusst zu entziehen. Sonst wird man unweigerlich hineingezogen in die Mühle der Erregungen. Und steckt plötzlich in einem Shitstorm, den man selbst mit angerührt hat. „Manche Probleme sind so komplex, dass man hochintelligent und gut informiert sein muss, um bei ihnen unentschieden zu sein.” Das stammt von Laurence J. Peter, dem Erfinder des Peter-Prinzips. Neben Heiterkeit und Liebe wäre ein mögliches Mittel, aus dem Nebel herauszukommen, die Erweiterung unseres Wahrnehmungs-Horizontes. Ein Blick über die Dächer. Machen wir also ein kleines Experiment. Hier einige Meldungen aus der »weiten Welt«, die Sie wahrscheinlich noch nicht gelesen oder wahr-genommen haben: Die größte und erfolgreichste Impfkampagne der Menschheitsgeschichte geht in die nächste Runde. Indien meldet die Verabreichung von einer Milliarde Covid-Vakzin-Dosen, China führt diese Liste mit zwei Milliarden an, während Brasilien 258 Millionen Dosen verabreichte und Indonesien 172 Mio. Global wurde bis Ende dieses Jahres knapp die Hälfte der Menschheit gegen Covid geimpft, und es geht schnell weiter… Quartz Ein Rollout eines neuen Polio-Vakzins in sechs afrikanischen Ländern hat dazu geführt, dass 80 Millionen Kinder nun geschützt gegen Kinderlähmung sind. Mit verringerten Seiteneffekten war das Mittel das Erste, dass von der WHO für Noteinsätze freigegeben wurde und dadurch gegen Ausbrüche schneller schützen konnte. The New Vaccine WHO Ruanda konnte seine jährliche Zahl von Malariafällen von 4,8 Millionen im Jahr 2016 auf 1,8 Millionen in 2020 reduzieren, schwere Fälle mit Todesfolge reduzierten sich um 70 Prozent. Die Regierung erprobt nun Drohnen, die Anti-Moskito-Präparate versprühen. Blasting mosquitoes with drones RBC Einer der größten Killer in hochentwickelten Ländern ist der Schlaganfall – zweithäufigste Todesursache weltweit. Ein neuer Report in The Lancet zeigt, dass weitgehend unbeachtet die Opferzahlen deutlich reduziert werden konnten – weltweit. Zwischen 1990 und 2019 ging die standardisierte Anzahl der Schlaganfälle um 17 Prozent zurück, und die Todesfälle um 36 Prozent. The Lancet © The Lancet Die Anzahl der weltweiten Kriegsopfer sank im Jahr 2020, das zweite Jahr in Folge. Die Gesamtzahl der in bewaffneten Konflikten gestorbenen betrug 120.000, das sind 30 Prozent weniger als 2018. Die Rückgänge gingen vor allem auf Veränderungen in Asien, Ozeanien und dem mittleren Osten zurück. SIPRI Eine immer größere Anzahl von Menschen in den wohlhabenden Ländern glaubt, dass Diversität gut für die Gesellschaft ist. In den USA, Kanada, UK, Australien, Neuseeland und Taiwan steigt die Akzeptanz für kulturelle und ethnische Unterschiedlichkeit, sogar in kulturell homogenen Ländern wie Japan und Griechenland. Pew © Pew Research Center Bereits vor dem Start von COP26 konnten Aktivisten gegen den Klimawandel eine gewaltige Welle von DECARBONISIERUNGS-INVESTMENTS verkünden – 40 Billionen Dollar in großen Portfolios und Pensionsfonds haben eine Abkehr von Öl- Kohle und Gas-Investitionen vollzogen. Das ist mehr als das BSP von USA und China zusammen. NYT Ein bemerkenswerter Teil des Globalen Zement-Sektors hat sich zu einer deutlichen Verringerung von Emissionen bekannt. Ein Viertel bis 2030, Karbon-Neutralität im Jahr 2050. Global Cement and Concrete Association Die Regierung von Chile hat das Verbot der meisten Verbrennungsmotoren von 2035 an angekündigt. Unter der neuen Elektrik-Transport-Strategie werden alle Fahrzeuge, Züge, auch schwere Lastwagen Zero-Emission sein müssen. We Go Electric Malawi hat die Wilderei und den Tierhandel drastisch reduzieren können – dank strengerer Gesetze. 90 Prozent aller verurteilten Wilderer brachte 4 Jahre oder mehr im Gefängnis zu. Seitdem gibt es keinen Fall von Elfenbeinhandel oder Rhino-Horn mehr, auch der Schmuggel seltener Wildtiere nach China konnte weitgehend abgestellt werden. NYT Im Ostpazifik wird ein 500.000 Quadratkilometer großes Meeresschutzgebiet entstehen, das auch die Galapagos-Inseln umfasst. Die Präsidenten von Ecuador, Kolumbien, Costa Rica und Panama verkündeten in der letzten Woche den Vertrag. Das Gebiet soll mehrere bestehende Schutzzonen miteinander verbinden und wäre damit so groß wie Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz zusammen. Innerhalb der geschützten Flächen soll es zukünftig unter anderem verboten sein, Fische zu fangen. The Guardian © The Guardian Die Population des östlichen Flachlandgorillas hat sich verdoppelt, von 3800 auf 6800. Das ist die gute Nachricht aus dem Oku Community Conservation Center im Kongo. Die Fortschritte konnten durch konsequente Habitat-Konservation mit lokalem Community-Engagement erzielt werden. Mongabay New Yorks Stadtregierung verabschiedete einen Plan, alle 885 Diesel-Busse der Stadt in vollelektrische Modelle zu konvertieren. Gleichzeitig wurde ein Zero-Emission Gesetz vor alle Passagierautos und leichten Transportfahrzeuge ab 2035 verabschiedet. We Go Electric 100 der weltgrößten Konzerne werden ab 2022 eine Minimalsteuer von 15 Prozent auf Gewinne zahlen. 136 Länder haben das neue Abkommen unterzeichnet, das mindestens 150 Milliarden mehr für die Bürger anstatt für die Konzernprofite abzweigen wird. Politico Globale Energiespeicherung wächst so schnell und in solchen Dimensionen, dass das Argument, erneuerbare Energien wären „zu unregelmäßig”, bald hinfällig sein wird. 12,4 Gigawatt Batteriespeicher werden im Jahr 2021 installiert, gegenüber 4,2 im Jahr 2020 (und 1 GW 2016). Für die nächsten Jahre werden exponentielle Entwicklungen auch mit neuen, chemischen und mechanischen Speichertechniken erwartet. Inside Climate News China hat mit der Konstruktion des größten weltweiten Erneuerbare-Energien-Projektes begonnen. 100 Gigawatt Wind und Solar-Kapazität werden in der Wüste installiert, was mehr als viermal so viel Energie wie der Dreischluchtendamm produzieren wird. Bloomberg Das Kolonialzeitalter geht endgültig zu Ende: Anfang November wurden Lebensgroße, aus Tropenholz geschnitzte Königsstatuen, handgewebte Teppiche, kleine Glockenspiele aus Metall, insgesamt 26 Kunstwerke aus Paris zurück nach Benin gebracht. Die Werke wurden dort vor 130 Jahren von der französischen Kolonialarmee gestohlen. Mit der Rückgabe der Stücke begann Präsident Emmanuel Macron, sein 2017 gegebenes Versprechen einzulösen, geraubte Kunstwerke aus den früheren französischen Kolonien in ihre Herkunftsländer zurückzubringen. In Irland startet ein Grundeinkommen-Versuch für Künstler:innen und andere Kulturschaffende. Die waren seit Beginn der Pandemie besonders stark von finanziellen Einbußen betroffen. In der geplanten Testphase erhalten 2.000 Kunstschaffende 3 Jahre lang jede Woche 325 Euro. Ab März 2022, spätestens ab April solle das Pilotprojekt starten, verkündete Kulturministerin Catherine Martin. 25 Millionen Euro stellt der irische Staat für das Vorhaben zur Verfügung. Die Bevölkerungs-Explosion, die zum festen Narrativ unserer Zukunftsängste zählt findet nicht statt. Die Menschheit wird zwischen 9 und 11 Milliarden Menschen – Tendenz zu 10 Milliarden, ihren „Peak-People” zwischen 2060 und 2080 erreichen. Die Geburtenraten sinken weiter, auch in den Armutsländern, und die Bevölkerungszahl Chinas ist bereits derzeit auf dem TIPPING POINT. In dreißig Jahren könnte es 200 Millionen weniger Chinesen geben. ZEIT ONLINE Was geht in Ihnen vor, wenn Sie diese Meldungen lesen? Sie könnten sagen: Was gehen mich Impfungen in Ruanda an? Oder: Wo stammen die Zahlen eigentlich her? Ist das nicht geschönt? Ist doch viel zu wenig! Wie soll denn das die Welt retten? Nein, es geht hier nicht darum, „ein bisschen Optimismus” zu erzeugen. Es geht nicht um Stimmungen oder Meinungen. Es geht auch nicht darum, ob es »genug« ist, damit wir Hoffnung haben »dürfen«. Es geht um die Art und Weise, wie wir Realität und Wirklichkeit, also die Zukunft, konstruieren. Wir schließen das, was wir für »die Welt« halten, immer in einem engen Tunnel ein. In diesem Tunnel selektieren wir meistens die negativen Signale, weil unser Hirn durch Jahrmillionen der Evolution dazu geprägt ist, das Gefahrvolle überzubetonen. Das hypermediale System, in dem wir leben, befördert diese Tunnelsicht. Auf diese Weise verengen wir uns in der Angst. Aus diesem negativen Narzissmus heraus entsteht leicht eine Paranoia – typisches Anzeichen dafür sind Verschwörungs-Narrative. Eine besondere Nörgel-Neigung, die zur Bösartigkeit tendiert. Ein Misstrauen, das auf Selbstverwerfung basiert. (Die Meldungen stammen übrigen überwiegend von Plattformen, die sich dem Konstruktiven Journalismus verschrieben haben. Der Medienwissenschafter Bernhard Pörksen nennt das den „Planetarischen Journalismus”.) © Julian Horx, www.julian-horx.com Komplexe Probleme sind nicht auf der Ebene ihres Entstehens lösbar. Sondern nur dadurch, dass wir neu über sie denken lernen. Paul Watzlawick, einer der Begründer des Konstruktivismus, nennt das „die Sanfte Kunst des Umdenkens”. „Die eigentliche Ursache des Leids”, schreibt Watzlawick in seinem Weltbestseller „Anleitung zum Unglücklichsein”, „liegt in unserer Unwilligkeit, Tatsachen als reelle Tatsachen und Ideen als bloße Ideen zu sehen, und dadurch, dass wir ununterbrochen Tatsachen mit Konzepten vermischen. Wir tendieren dazu, Ideen für Tatsachen zu halten, was Chaos in der Welt schafft.” Die 87jährige Naturforscherin und Schimpansen-Expertin Jane Goodall hat gerade ein wunderbares Buch veröffentlicht, in dem Sie ihre Erfahrungen mit ihrem lebenslangen Kampf gegen den Artenschwund und den Tierschutz beschreibt. In Das Buch der Hoffnung erörtert sie vier Gründe, weshalb sie an die Zukunft der Menschheit glaubt: Den erstaunlichen menschlichen Intellekt. Die Resilienz der Natur. Die Kraft junger Menschen. Den unbezähmbaren „Human Spirit”. Wenn wir den Glauben an die Zukunft verlieren, verlieren wir die Wirklichkeit. Wenn wir in die Wirklichkeit nur im verengten Blickwinkel unserer Angst wahrnehmen, verlieren wir uns selbst. Hier noch eine kleine Zusatzübung: Machen Sie den neuen GAPMINDER-Global-Wirklichkeitstest von Ola Rosling, einem guten Freund des Zukunftsinstituts, der sich auf die neuesten Daten und die „Global Goals” der UNO bezieht. Probieren Sie es. Es lohnt sich. Sie werden merken, wie sich auch ihre Haltung zum »Corona-Problem« verändert. P.S. Auch diese Corona-Welle wird vorbeigehen. Wir werden dann viel gelernt haben. Über uns selbst. Die Gesellschaft. Und das Leben. Ein großes Dankeschön an Matthias Horx für den tollen Beitrag und die freundliche Erlaubnis ihn teilen zu dürfen! In diesem Sinne, bleib frohen Mutes. Wende Deinen Blick auf all das Gute, Schöne und Positive, was wir als Menschheit erreicht haben und trage bitte durch Vernunft und Impfbereitschaft dazu bei, dass Covid-19 endlich in den Status von Influenza herabrutscht. Alles liebe und bestmögliche Gesundheit wünscht Dir, Nele

A French court has convicted a gang of eight men including four members of the Rathkeale Rovers Organised Crime group for trafficking rhino horn and ivory between Europe and Asia. But while sentences have been handed down, the Irish traders remain at large and are likely living under aliases, as environmentalist groups urge gardai to track the fugitives down. So what are criminals doing with rhino horns and elephant tusks and how did the Rathkeale Rovers see a multi-million euro opportunity in an underground criminal enterprise? Nicola Tallant chats to journalist and author Eamon Dillon, who is an expert on the globe-trotting criminal gang. He tells of the museum heists, ancient medicinal cures and the business savvy traders who are always ahead of the game.

Susan Scott and Bonné De Bod of Scott & De Bod Films are two passionate filmmakers based in South Africa. Susan and Bonné joined forces to bring to life their critically acclaimed documentary STROOP – journey into the rhino horn war. What started as a six-month project turned into a four-year filming odyssey as Susan and Bonné peeled back the complex layers of the rhino poaching trade, realising the scale and danger was far greater than they first imagined.STROOP has since been officially selected for 40 film festivals, won 30 awards and has been broadcast and streamed in nearly 100 countries around the globe. We talk with Susan and Bonné about the blood, sweat and tears that went into bringing this powerful story to the world, learning the fascinating backstory behind the documentary. We touch on why rhino (and all wildlife) conservation should matter to everyone – in the words of these two incredible ladies; when we stand up, when we speak up, change can happen.In this episode we discuss:• Susan and Bonné's respective backgrounds • An overview of the concerning rhino poaching statistics in South Africa• The multiple drivers of rhino poaching, following the trail from Africa to Asia • The potential strategies and reforms that could lead to poaching reductions• Dangers involved in documentary filmmaking – it's more than meets the eye• The importance of remaining independent as filmmakers and journalists• Doing your homework to ensure financial support goes to credible organisations• Susan and Bonné's latest documentary Kingdoms of Fire, Ice & Fairy Tales, and future projects• And so much more!Be sure to tag @TheLentilIntervention and help us reach more people by subscribing, reviewing, and sharing this episode with your friends and family.Please support our work and enable us to deliver more content by buying us a coffee.

Pembient is a company making big chunks of realistic fake rhino horn in the lab. Its goal is to flood the market with high-quality, "can't-tell-the-difference" replica products, driving down demand for the real stuff—thereby ultimately helping combat poaching and the illegal wildlife trade. In this episode, Pembient's CEO and Co-Founder Matthew Markus talks about the potential he sees in the niche biofabricated wildlife product industry. He also shares some of the biggest challenges to actually getting it to market, and addresses some of the controversy surrounding Pembient’s unique approach.Music interlude created by Lee Rosevere.Support the show (https://www.afteranimals.com/support-us)

Ep115 - 7 April 2019 - "Health and Rhino Horn" by Darran Griffiths

South African Revenue Service officials have intercepted a consignment of rhino horns at the OR Tambo International Airport worth over 23-million rand. Sars says the horns were hidden underneath cut laminated wooden sheets in four boxes which were filled with doormats and decorative items

Our understanding of poaching of endangered species in Africa can be charitably described as "simplistic." Most of us don't even see Ivory, Rhino Horn, or other products, but did you know that the United States is one of the largest markets for these products? Did you know that most poachers are locals acting out on economic necessity? The story is a complicated intersection of local and international efforts.  Host: Nicholas Mortensen  Researchers: Anna von Spakovsky and Emi Lockwood Producer: Andy Carluccio The Global Inquirer is a production of the International Relations Organization at UVA, and affiliated with TEEJ, UVA’s podcasting network.

“An award-winning television presenter and filmmaker, Bonné de Bod, is well-known for her in-depth reporting on wildlife and environmental issues. For nearly a decade, Bonné has presented in both Afrikaans and English on South African television. Awards include the prestigious SANParks Kudu Award for Best Journalist in 2015 and an ATKV-Mediaveertjie in 2016. Her Kudu award stated that she received the nod due to her “passionate, balanced reporting on wildlife conservation issues as well as keeping the public updated and informed about environmental issues in South Africa.” For the last 4 years, Bonné, together with her co-filmmaker Susan Scott, has been working on a film about the rhino horn war and the devastating impacts on our beloved real-world unicorns. The film is called STROOP: Journey into the Rhino Horn War and is due to be released in San Francisco on 9 September 2018!  We met up with Bonné in the Walter Sisulu Gardens in Johannesburg where the 3 of us pretended we were in the wild bush of the Kruger National Park and covered Bonné's career path to telling stories about the wild, the rhino horn problem and some of the amazing work being done to fight the rhino horn war including her upcoming film, 'STROOP: Journey into the Rhino Horn War'. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Find the show notes here  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ *** SOCIALIZE WITH US *** Website Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube

In today's globalized world little now stays local- from tourists to terrorists – can reach almost anywhere. From headlines of S. Africa ruling for rhino horn trade, to recent reports of thieves breaking into a French zoo and into a South African rhino orphanage to kill captive rhinos for their horns. may suggest a renewed surge in demand for rhino horn and similarly, the killing of a famous bull elephant in Kenya has depressed wildlife advocates. Although appalling incidents, there are many positive signs in the fight against poaching, trafficking and consumption of wildlife products, a massive shift in attitudes among governments, transnational law enforcement, and people, in favor of reducing the demand and closing the illegal wildlife trade markets.. Today WildAid Exec. Director Peter Knights, Hong Hoang, WildAid Vietnam and Alex Hofford, WildAid Hong Kong, highlight just how massive these shifts are as we attempt a prognosis for the future, and the solutions at hand.

Rapid changes to our entire earth and our wild species and heritage is happening the world over: from climate change to regulations to law enforcement and models that unfortunately end up promoting continued illegal wildlife trade. With my guest Dr. Pieter Kat, we discuss the recent headlines of a legalized national trade in rhino horn within S. Africa and the ramifications and consequences, as yet still unknown, of the online auction of rhino horn for private use while at the same time it is still illegal via CITES for any country to import horn. We also draw parallels between the privatized large-scale farming/breeding of lions, and a ‘conservation model' that is based solely upon profit through utilization rather than species survival in the wild, and discuss the facelift that is urgently needed for conservation of the wild as a whole to ensure not just the ‘big and furry' survive, but biodiversity as a whole in the future of earth, and the necessity of protected wild places.

Can a chalice made of rhino horn detect poison? Can its ground powder serve as an aphrodisiac? The science is at best sketchy on both fronts, but such beliefs continue to endanger the world’s remaining rhinoceros species. In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Robert and Joe explore the magical beliefs surrounding rhino horn and exactly what science has to say about the matter.

Can hunting survive without conservation?  Can conservation survive without hunting?  History tells us that they need each other to survive.  Hunting without rules will surely devastate a species.  Conservation regulation without hunting has shown that hunting dollars matter greatly, and without the economic backing, poachers have a field day.   This is perhaps no better represented as in the case of the white rhino where the horn of the rhino brings big bucks in the far east to supply a culture's demand based on ancient medicinal beliefs.  Cole Reid, from the Stewards of Wildlife,  is all to familiar with these concepts as he is attempting to herd 2500 rhinos on his ranch in Texas. This herd will perhaps one day supply the world with what could be the only white rhino started-culture on earth. Cole is a long time deer hunter and now world conservationist. Stay tuned as we explore a global view of conservation and hunting in this episode. Oh, and we talk a lot about deer hunting too.

In today's globalized world little now stays local- from tourists to terrorists – can reach almost anywhere. From headlines of S. Africa ruling for rhino horn trade, to recent reports of thieves breaking into a French zoo and into a South African rhino orphanage to kill captive rhinos for their horns. may suggest a renewed surge in demand for rhino horn and similarly, the killing of a famous bull elephant in Kenya has depressed wildlife advocates. Although appalling incidents, there are many positive signs in the fight against poaching, trafficking and consumption of wildlife products, a massive shift in attitudes among governments, transnational law enforcement, and people, in favor of reducing the demand and closing the illegal wildlife trade markets.. Today WildAid Exec. Director Peter Knights, Hong Hoang, WildAid Vietnam and Alex Hofford, WildAid Hong Kong, highlight just how massive these shifts are as we attempt a prognosis for the future, and the solutions at hand.

Shane Mahoney, CEO of Conservation Visions, argues that allowing legal trade of rhino horn could, possibly, save the species. What do you think? Listen to this brief explanation and find us at  or    

My guest Ashwell Glasson and I take a deep look into the disturbing headlines that South Africa has legalized trade in rhino horn. Today we delve deeply into variety of perspectives- from financial value to market value; industrialized farming to conservation-and how we will choose to translate ‘value' of wildlife, and all life, beyond human desires and the dollar, into a belief system in support of critical earth functions and her inhabitants as a whole greater than sums of parts. The ruling to open trade in rhino horn has created deep grey areas, from incomplete guidelines to law enforcement to legal parameters of how trade would commence, to our human consciousness. We have just upped the ante and pressure of rhino's survival in the wild and their conservation champions, for whom ‘value' is based upon rhino's role in keeping ecosystems functioning and healthy for- for us and the numerous other species that depend upon them.

Rhinos are still being killed for their horns, but probably not for the reasons you thought.

Right now rhino are at the razor edge of existence on Earth. Since the CITES CoP17 decision of ‘No Trade”, South Africa has hit the headlines big time with the announcement by the Minister of Environmental Affairs Edna Molewa publishing her notice of intention to amend the Invasive Species List, to delisting of Diceros bicomis michaelii (Eastern black rhinoceros) from the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act of 2004; and The Protected Species in of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act of 2004. My guest today, Loraine Liebenberg of Save Our Rhino, lay open a scathing indictment of what is happening at the highest levels across the board of the sub-context that surrounds rhino conservation and rhino horn trade in contemporary South Africa in a world that is politically charged globally, at the height hard fought success, there is a reverse trend down a path that seeks to put a price on everything

John Grobler is a Namibian investigative reporter who has devoted more than two years of his life to examining the complex webs of organized crime funneling rhino horn from Africa to east Asia. Shi Yi 石毅, a Chinese environmental reporter, worked with him and went undercover posing as a businessperson to meet and report on the young Chinese men who engage in this nefarious activity abroad. Jeremy chatted with both of them when he attended the Africa-China Journalists Forum in Johannesburg, South Africa in November 2016 (listen to his other conversations with African journalists on last week’s Sinica Podcast). Separately, Kaiser interviewed Nicole Elizabeth Barnes of Duke University, an expert on Chinese medicine. Nicole, John, and Shi Yi all discussed China’s role in the illegal rhino horn trade, debunking myths about its use as an aphrodisiac and explaining how upper class and status-conscious Chinese and Vietnamese are fueling demand for this and other rare natural products. All three recommended listeners to support WildAid, one of the foremost organizations campaigning against the poaching of elephants and black rhinos. John also recommends supporting Oxpeckers, an African environmental investigative reporting unit that supports his work in Namibia. Nicole further recommended supporting the World Wildlife Fund, the Nature Conservancy, and marking World Rhino Day, September 22nd, on your calendar to raise awareness of the work CITIES and TRAFFIC do to monitor and crack down on illegal wildlife trade.

We chat with Dr Lynn Johnson, founder of Breaking the Brand, an organisation fighting the rhino horn trade from a completely different angle.

The application by two Mpumalanga rhino breeders to overturn government's moratorium on the sale of rhino horn continued in the High Court in Pretoria today. John Hume and Johan Kruger are challenging the government's legislation and moratorium barring trading in rhino horn. Hume own over a 1000 rhinos at his farm. Meanwhile, advocate David Unterhalter was replaced by Isabel Goodman as lawyer standing in for ministry of Environmental Affairs. Goodman, in her heads of arguments told the court that the moratorium is in line with international law that prevents private rhino horn trade and sale.

Joseph Okori, WWF's African rhino programme coordinator, discusses the poaching of African rhinos and the illegal trade in rhino horns. Not an isolated issue, it impacts on humans too. In recent years the problem has not only increased in terms of numbers killed, but we see the increasingly organised nature of the crime.
