I always wish researchers would figure out how to make an indistinguishable synthetic ivory and have the government subsidize to the point where we could flood the market with it. If ivory were as easy to come by as plastic, nobody would bother going after elephants for it.
- b6 11y agoThere are some companies working on synthetic rhino horn, like Rhinoceros Horn LLC and Pembient. But I think there are concerns that it will just increase demand for the real thing. I'm not sure how to handle it. Maybe marketing campaigns to make consumption of ivory and rhino horn extremely uncool.
