Or is it simply a business venture? 3D printed horns may put rhinos at greater risk of extinction - life - 01 May 2015 - New Scientist
Interesting story. The premise may be sound theoretically, the practicality may not be so certain, as detailed by conservationists. But Kudos for them for looking for an alternative. Hix
The placebo effect from eating/owning rhino horn etc. DOES NOT work if one knows that the horn is fake. So, any Mr. Rich Limpdiсk would rather buy a real horn, despite its illegality. It's a moronic decision to support wildlife-threatening traditions - which must disappear from brains of their bearers, or together with them.
