The Namibia Chamber of Environment has made a call for the legalisation of trade in rhino horn. Calls to legalise rhino horn trade in Namibia are growing louder in an effort to save the species from annihilation, particularly after China partly lifted its already weakly implemented 25-year ban on the use of rhino horn and tiger bones in traditional medicines. In a letter to members and affiliates last week, Namibia Chamber of Environment (NCE) CEO Chris Brown warned that the demand for animal products such as rhino horn, ivory, pangolin scales, tiger and lion bones will continue to grow, despite zero scientific evidence of their medical benefit. "We can grow the supply. And we can do it in a way that protects and conserves our rhinos while harnessing the economic opportunities and realising a suite of other conservation and socio-economic benefits," he wrote.
