The present $3 to $6 million per annum market for rhino horn has its roots in earliest Babylonian, Egyptian and Greek cultures. Rhino horn was worth 63 cents per kilogram in the 1840s, $11 in 1950 and $300 in 1978. In 1988, the best horns, weighing between 1 ? and 3 kg, are worth $1000 per kilo or $500 per pound.
