Title:

The recent landmark judgment on rhino horn exports and its implications for wildlife conservation

Author(s):
Stoddard E
Publication Year:
2025
Abstract:

A legal international trade in rhino horn is not about to immediately lift off, but a recent judgment raises issues that point to the direction that contestation in this terrain may take. The Northern Cape Division of the High Court in Kimberley, on Friday, 31 October, ruled that rhino horn harvested from registered captive breeding operations can be exported for sale, as such facilities are devoted to conservation and not commerce.
