Pembient has said it can sell its rhino horn for one-eighth the price of real rhino horn. Trade in cultured horn expands consumer demand.Even if a DNA “watermark” is added to resolve that problem, testing would be expensive and time-consuming. That opens up opportunities for traffickers to avoid seizures by claiming their genuine horn contraband is fake. Because cultured rhino horn has the same appearance and chemical and genetic characteristics as real horn, proving that an item comes from an illegal, wild rhino will be difficult, if not impossible. Trade in cultured rhino horn hinders law enforcement.Similarly, undercover studies of the domestic ivory markets in China and Hong Kong have exposed how these legal markets facilitated “laundering” of illegal ivory from newly killed elephants, complicating law enforcement. A recent study of legal trade in captive-bred tokay geckos showed that it facilitates illegal trade and intensifies pressure on wild populations. Trade in cultured rhino horn provides cover for the illegal trade.The idea behind the law is that even saying a product is made from rhino horn has the same negative impact on the wild species as if it contained the real thing.

The Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act also prohibits the sale of any product, item, or substance intended for human consumption or application containing, or labeled or advertised as containing, any substance derived from a species of rhinoceros or tiger. Both the Endangered Species Act and the Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act ban the export, import, and interstate sale of endangered or listed species and their parts, products, and derivatives.

The service already has the authority to ban cultured horn under existing laws.

It contains five justifications for such a ban. Today’s petition asks the Fish and Wildlife Service to prohibit the import, export, and sale of biologically engineered rhinoceros horn, as well as cultured parts or products from other protected wildlife.

The company has said it also intends to create a full line of bioengineered products from other protected species, including elephant tusks, tiger bones, and pangolin scales. In other words, a cultured rhino horn with a rhino DNA signature. It then uses that mixture as “ink” in a 3-D printer to produce a special synthetic keratin.

Pembient explains that it makes its cultured horn by adding rhino genetic code to yeast to create a substance, to which it adds rhino DNA. “We’ll make money-the poaching syndicates won’t,” he says. Pembient CEO Matthew Markus believes the low price of the company’s synthetic horn will reduce economic incentives for poachers. The result is a product far different from fakes on the market today-namely, one that is visually, chemically, and genetically identical to the real thing. While their methods vary, they essentially involve manufacturing fake rhino horn using elements derived from a real one. The other companies are raising or have sought money for research.

Pembient has already produced prototypes of both powdered and carvable horn and plans to put its “essence of rhino horn” in beer, skin care products, and medicines. Fish and Wildlife Service by the Center for Biological Diversity, a U.S.-based group that uses science and law to protect the environment, and WildAid, a nonprofit organization that aims to eliminate illegal wildlife trade.Īt issue is bioengineered, or cultured, rhino horn under development or consideration by several companies, including Pembient, CeratoTech, Rhinoceros Horn LLC, and Stop Rhino Poaching Through Synthetic Rhino Horns. That's the contention behind a petition filed today with the U.S. Trade in bioengineered rhino horn shouldn’t be allowed.
