Rhino Horn Trade

The rhinoceros horn trade involves buying and selling rhino horns, often driven by demand in traditional medicine, status symbols, and collectors. Despite international bans, illegal poaching persists because horns are highly valuable, leading to a decline in rhino populations. The trade is complex, entangled with criminal networks and economic incentives, raising conservation concerns. Efforts focus on law enforcement, anti-poaching, and community engagement to reduce illegal harvests and protect rhinos from extinction.
