In considering this Report of the Select Committee on Land Reform, Environment, Mineral and Energy Resources, we note that the regulations on rhino trade under the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act prescribes the issuing of permits in order to domestically trade in rhino horns. The issuing of permits is one of the other measures employed by government to ensure the reduction in illegal trade of rhino horns due to high domestic demand that feeds into the global demand for rhino horns. Given the fact that environmental management, including its protection and conservation, is concurrent constitutional function, we do not see this as an erosion of provincial legislatures to enact legislation relating to rhino poaching and conservation. What we seek to do as the two Houses of Parliament, especially this House, is to ensure that there is a well-co- ordinated legislative enactment and with national overseeing the overarching role. This, hon Chairperson, is paramount to ensuring that there is uniformity in terms of how we deal with illegal rhino horn trade.
