Popis: | Rhinos are a charismatic symbol of Africa's thriving wildlife, but their future is threatened. Rising demand for rhino horn along with inefficiency and corruption in protecting rhinos makes these animals vulnerable. The rhino population is facing a crisis situation with thousands killed illegally for their horns each year. The countries of eSwatini, Botswana, and South Africa are at the forefront of the issue, but little attention has been paid to understanding the positions and viewpoints of the local people. Qualitative interviews were conducted with local ranchers, conservationists, and the general population. Grounded theory techniques were utilised and various stakeholder interviews were conducted to examine the situation from different ethical perspectives. Primary ethical perspectives considered in this case include deontology, consequentialism, and justice/fairness; each perspective is applied to frame the issue with respect to different stakeholder groups that directly influence the rhino crisis. |
