The Environmental Investigating Authority has made an important discovery. A traditional medicine apparently manufactured in North Korea is being advertised by a Chinese trader on social media WeChat that promises to cure COVID_19. The medicine contains rhino horn.
This is devastating news for Africa’s last remaining rhino and very serious for the rangers protecting them.
Read this important long article.
In South Africa Minister Barbara Creecy allows the trade in rhino horn. It is foolish to believe that the traders in Traditional Medicine are going to purchase old rhino horn from the state owned stockpiles or the privately owned stockpiles they will send in poachers to purchase their own. Risking the lives of the rangers who protect the rhino.
