I agree, John. But how are you going to stop it? Are you prepared to take up arms and go to war? I'm betting not....

And I doubt even Rambo would make a dent in the situation, so I would be pretty stupid to even consider it. The only solutions are at the levels of international trade, sanction and agreed enforcement. If nobody bought rhino horn then perhaps they wouldn't be on the edge of extinction. Granted poaching isn't their only threat.

Unfortunately, at current increases the planet, as we know it, is pretty well doomed any way. There are just too many people, and greed and technology has made us too efficient at hoovering up what ever resources we can get our hands on.

And we are too selfish. Someone could say they want a Brazilian Rosewood necked guitar because, in their opinion, it is the best material for the job. They want it and will care little that Maple is a more sustainable resource by comparison. I agree that Rosewood looks far nicer than PF but I can choose to have neither if I really don't like PF.
