Alarm over China move to reopen rhino horns trade

China's decision to reopen trade on rhino horn and tiger bones.
Many experts have said that they can not say that it is important to know that it is important to know that it is important to secure rhino's future.

Conservationists
Criticisms have been made that promote legalization in Asia and the Americas.
According to conservation policy expert Daudi Sumba, Kenya 's rhinos are facing serious threat from poachers and will require the government and conservationists.

Reactivated
"Reopening the market has prompted us to crack down on the market," said Mr Sumba.
He said that the survival of the rhino under these conditions will depend on what the government and other stakeholders do to protect the rhino going forward.

COMMUNITIES
"The government now needs to get more creative with its conservation efforts. "The first thing it is necessary to increase resources for wildlife protection instead of just pointing fingers at the Chinese, and getting the local communities more involved in conservation efforts," said Mr Sumba.
He added that while the government does engage communities in formulating conservation policies, it is not necessary to have a relationship with the community.

AWARENESS
"Then they will resent protecting these animals and they will work with them to make a quick buck," said Mr Sumba.
In addition, he said that the government must raise awareness among the general population on why is conservation important, even beyond the money.
While China has determined that it would be more effective, it should be noted that, as long as there is a market, there is no way to ensure that they will not find their way in.

SYNDICATES
"Demand for rhino is killing more than 1,000 rhinos each year," said Dr. Philip Muruthi, vice president for species conservation at the African Wildlife Foundation.
"The rhino horn trade is currently disallowed and should remain so." We are already in the process of becoming more and more likely to be trafficked to China. ivory. "
Kenya's rhino population has been dealt with a huge blow this year, first with the death of the iconic Sudan, the last male in the world, in the face of the dead, the dead in the world, the death of 11 black rhinos in Tsavo East National Park.

ENDANGERED
The 11th died of dehydration after they were relocated from Nairobi and Nakuru National Parks to Tsavo where the water in the borehole they were drinking to be found too salty to drink.
International trade on rhino horn has been illegal since 1977 when the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES) banned it. CITES currently has 182 members, including Kenya.
Some people have argued that rhino horn trade might be key to growing rhino populations in Africa.
