Episode 2 of this season attracted a lot of interest and comment, we answer your questions in this episode:

The Platinum Rhino auction fails to solicit a successful bidder – what’s next for Hume and his rhino? We give the updates.

Rhino Horn trade is unlikely, but the current revenue models are also flawed – what are the challenges in innovating a new approach where renewables, carbon markets, ESG investments and the like are combined? 

Why is trade so challenging, surely we can flood the market? We discuss the challenges in opening the rhino horn trade and why we should be skeptical of trade while there are so many unanswered questions. 

How much does it cost to implement and run an anti-poaching unit? Are we over-investing in the militarization of conservation? We discuss the different approaches and the costs experienced in creating, implementing, and operating an APU.
