These Regulations are made by the Minister of Environment, Foresty and Fisheries in accordance with the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004. The Regulations are aimed to restrict certain activities relating to rhinoceros horn especially, the selling, giving, donating, buying, receiving, accepting as a gift or donation of rhinoceros horn within the country’s borders, and the export or re-export of rhinoceros horn from the country. Among the several Regulations restricting the domestic dealing of rhinoceros horns, the Regulations allow dealings with only horns which are 5cm or more in length, irrespective of weight of the horn, and of course, subject to a permit.
