    Study Notes

    Rhino Horn Stockpile in South Africa

    • South Africa has a 70,000kg rhino horn stockpile, which should be burnt to prevent illegal trading.
    • The global ban on international buying and selling of rhino horn has been in place since 1977.

    Rhino Horn Trade

    • Rhino horn is not biochemically special, but it's in high demand in Asia, particularly in China and Vietnam.
    • Rhino horn is used as a status symbol, in traditional Chinese medicine, and as an aphrodisiac.
    • Rhino are poached for their horns, which are then illegally traded.

    Rhino Poaching

    • South Africa has fewer than 23,000 rhinos left, down from a historical population of 500,000.
    • In 2023, 449 rhinos were lost to poaching.
    • Rhino can be protected against poaching by guarding or monitoring, moving to low-risk areas, or de-horning under anaesthesia.

    Rhino Horn Stockpile Problem

    • The stockpile is supposed to be stored securely, but it's been stolen from and diverted into the illegal global wildlife trade.
    • Rhino horn from South African stockpiles has been found in illegal shipments.
    • The EMS report argues that the stockpiles contribute to creating a demand for more accessible rhino horn.

    Solution to the Rhino Horn Stockpile Problem

    • Destroying the stockpile would signal a commitment to no-trade and symbolize the worthlessness of rhino horn as a commodity.
    • Demand reduction through education and behavior change campaigns could undermine the market demand and remove the incentive for poaching.
    • The best way forward for rhino conservation may be to hold symbolic funeral pyres of burning rhino horn.

    Rats: Facts and Fiction

    • Rats are the most common mammal on Earth, living on every continent except Antarctica.
    • Humans introduced rats to new parts of the world through ships and exploration, leading to their widespread presence.

    Diet and Adaptation

    • Rats are omnivores, consuming a wide range of food including grains, seeds, nuts, flowers, leaves, insects, birds, reptiles, fish, and eggs.
    • Their mouths are adapted to bite through various materials like wood, copper, aluminum, and some concrete.

    Senses and Survival

    • Rats have a poor sense of sight, but this is compensated by their strong senses of touch and hearing.
    • They use long, sensitive hairs on their face to feel new environments before entering.
    • Their hearing is exceptional, allowing them to detect sounds inaudible to humans.

    Behavior and Hygiene

    • Rats are clean animals, spending several hours daily cleaning themselves and other rats.
    • They communicate with each other through special sounds.

    Misconceptions and Diseases

    • Rats were incorrectly blamed for causing the Black Death, a pandemic that killed over 75 million people in the 14th century.
    • The disease was actually spread by insects that lived on the rats.

    Coexistence

    • It is essential to separate rat facts from myths to better understand and coexist with this successful species.
