Fake Rhino Horn to Destroy Poacher Market; might also be useful material.

[RJBowman]

Scientists have figured out how to make fake rhino horn that might eventually pass for the real thing, and flood the market to ruin the poaching industry:

It could also possibly be used for purposes that rhino horn may have once been used for; pistol grips, glasses frames, etc.

There's one particular use for rhino horn that the imitation won't work for, but I'm having trouble finding sympathy for those people.

I would go with "care factor" - non-existent!

Could the same technology be applied to Narwhal tusk?
Given recent events, it might be useful to have a few more around without depleting the natural population...

Very authentic looking cast epoxy resin narwhal tusks are available, and much cheaper than the real thing.

If you're thinking of the same use I'm thinking of (you pervert!) I suspect the imitation horn would be exactly as effective as the real thing.
