The black rhino could be saved so easily but logic is not used. They could free range them and cut the horns off without killing the animal and sell them. Instead it is illegal to sell them so people do it quickly and kill the animal in the process.

Brazil is similar. They cut the trees and pay the fines so they can ranch or plant the eucylytus trees. The tree farms come back from the stump and are the fastest growing tree on the planet. More of those and soon pulp prices are so low that no one is cutting the rain forest. And honestly Brasil sees this and is doing a better job then most in getting this to a sustainable system.
