Kennis & CoFokken, bewaken, fotograferen, wat helpt wél tegen neushoornstroperij?Een natuurparkenorganisatie heeft een neushoornfokkerij met 2000 neushoorns opgekocht die was bedoeld voor de legale productie van neushoorn-hoorns.

Ontwikkelingssocioloog Bram Büscher legt aan Jop de Vrieze en Bouwe van Straten uit welke complexe wereld van fokkers, stropers, natuurbeschermers, handel en conflicterende belangen er achter deze overname schuilgaat en waarom er geen eenvoudige oplossingen zijn.
