STAGGERING,
currently fetching morethan gold and platinum.

Prohibited ininternationaltrade, rhinohorn hasbeen highlyprized
inAsia,where it is believed to bea cure for cancer andother ills,
and has beenused in Chinesetraditional medicine overthe
millenia.
Governments, NGOs, IGOs, charities, high profile individuals
such as PrinceWilliam, Yao Ming and David Beckham are lending their
substantial influence toendeavour to try and bring poaching to an
end v ia stricter law enforcement,decreasing demand through
education and discussions abound on whether thetrade in rhino horn
should be legalised or whether rhinos should be dehorned.The
situation remains serious and full t ime protection needs to be
afforded to ourrhinos and we need you, our guests, to take this
message out to yourcommunities, schools, friends, work colleagues.
