As a result, a rhino poaching crisis has developed in South Africa, this dissertation will seek to analyse the theories for and against the legalisation of trade as a method to address said crisis. In addition to considering whether the legalisation of trade is the most viable option, this paper will explore how one would go about lifting the trade ban. The latter will involve looking at the proposal for trade to be submitted, as well as what such a trade might look like if such a proposal is successful. 2014-11-05T03:39:07Z 2014-11-05T03:39:07Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters LLM http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9098 eng application/pdf Institute of Marine and Environmental Law Faculty of Law University of Cape Town
