Rhinos and daggers: a major conservation problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2009
Abstract
North Yemen still imports rhino horn to make dagġer handles, despite the government ban in 1982. As rhino numbers continue on their precipitous decline, it is imperative that conservationists act now. Protection of rhinos in Situ is failing as poachers take more and more risks for greater financial gain. The author proposes urgent action, which includes exerting pressure on the appropriate governments.
