I was shocked when China reversed its 25-year-old ban on the medicinal and cultural use of rhino horn and tiger bone last month. This came out of the blue and was especially puzzling given China’s new image as a conservation and environmental leader after banning ivory, reducing shark fin consumption and tackling climate change. Why would the country now go back on these protections for tigers and rhinos?
