Rhino horn in Asia
Your task is research and then write a report on the demand for rhino horn in Asia. Which countries are most responsible for the illegal importation of rhino horn? What segments of these populations are most likely to be involved in this illegal trade? What are the perceived medicinal benefits to taking rhino horn as a traditional medicine in China and Vietnam? What roles do the governments of China and Vietnam play in stopping the importation of rhino horns from Africa? After learning about China's ever increasing economic role in Africa, do you think that China being implicated in this illegal trade might have negative repercussions for future investment? Why or why not?
