Horn of dilemma. . Poaching is the largest threat not only for Indian rhinos, but all rhino species. By killing rhinos solely for their horns, poachers have pushed the species to the brink of extinction. Rhino horn is comprised of a protein called keratin, which is also found in hair, feathers and hooves. Despite its generic composition, rhino horns have a large economic value and are considered a prized possession/decoration in Africa and the Middle East. Additionally, horns are highly sought after by those who believe in their non-existent medicinal value and fictitious aphrodisiac properties. We can help ensure a future for rhinos by encouraging better protection in the wild and eliminating the rhino horn market.
