Save The Rhino Campaign

EDM number 2525 in 2005-06, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 06/07/2006.

That this House commends the efforts of British charity `Save the Rhino International' and the dedicated team of conservationists, park wardens, game rangers and patrol guards who work tirelessly in helping to protect this most endangered of species from the continued threat of illegal poaching and snaring; condemns the illegal trade in and continued use of rhinoceros horn for traditional medicines in Asia, and in particular China; recognises the important environmental education programmes that teach children and adults about the importance of preserving natural resources in addition to addressing human-wildlife conflict issues; notes the contribution that `Save the Rhino International' makes to such programmes; and further notes that four of the five species of rhinoceros are critically endangered and that only with continued aid and support will these animals survive long enough for future generations to marvel at their majesty.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs.
