Who’s fighting for rhinos?

- Alice Drysdale, via email

The article on CITES (December 2016) mentions that China is the main culprit for the trade in rhino horn for traditiona­l medicine. Traditiona­l Chinese medicine is often blamed for the decline in many species, and I have often wondered what is being done to tackle the problem. I understand that there are many internatio­nal organisati­ons working on this, such as Save the Rhino and WWF, however I wondered whether there were any associatio­ns from China itself. Are you aware of any institutio­ns working on a national, government­al, regional, and local level?
