This small country, with a population of 6 million at the time, suddenly became the worldâs largest importer of rhino horn. The value of rhino horn made it enormously profitable to poach rhinos and sell them on the black market. For example, in 1990, the two horns from a single black rhino brought as much as $50,000. Just like poaching for elephant ivory, poaching for rhino horn is simply too profitable for many subsistence farmers and herders to resist. Conservation Actions. Trade Regulation. All trade in rhino horn is prohibited, since rhinos are protected under Appendix I of CITES.
