Absztrakt
This Thesis is an investigation into how Chinese cultural beliefs, behaviors and the use of
traditional medicine is directly effecting rhino and elephant populations in Africa. China’s lust
for endangered animal products is driving a demand for these species that threatens their very
existence. Using an extensive literature review and interviews taken with African conservation
experts I will try to understand why China places so much worth on rhino horn and ivory.
