CLEAN : FILE S African judge lifts domestic ban on rhino horn trade

The video discusses the complex issue of rhino horn trade in South Africa, highlighting the irony that it is legal to kill a rhino and export its horn, but illegal to harvest the horn from a live rhino. The speaker argues that sustainable harvesting could be a viable solution, as the horn regrows and can be collected humanely. The current 30-year ban on rhino horn trade is deemed ineffective, and the video suggests that lifting the moratorium could help conserve the species. A multifaceted conservation strategy, including legalization, is proposed to prevent the extinction of rhinos.
