Hendrick Diedericks

rancher

Hendrick Diedericks is a South African rhino rancher and owner of Rockwood Conservation, a vast nature and hunting reserve that is home to over 450 white rhinos. He has been at the forefront of a legal battle seeking the right to export rhino horns harvested from live, captive-bred animals, arguing that regulated trade could help reduce poaching by flooding the market and driving prices down. Recently, a South African court ruled in his favor, allowing the export of rhino horns, which may test the adequacy of Canada's ban on such imports.
