Claire Attwood is among the early participants in a two-day workshop organised by the

Department of Environmental Affairs.

Members of the pro and anti rhino horn trading lobbies are talking to a panel of 22 experts who will

recommend the position should take at next year’s Conference on the International Trade in

Endangered Species.

Attwood says the example of ivory history shows legalising trade in a wildlife product doesn’t stop

poaching.

If rhino sales are legalized South Africa will have only three of Big Five to show tourists because if

if can’t save the rhino, there is little chance for the elephant.
