That may have been partially true in the past but that isn't what is happening today. The Vietnamese and Chinese are the biggest players in the market now. No amount of evidence is going to convince them that what amounts to fingernails has no medicinal properties whatsoever. As for leaving it to the locals that is a big part of the problem.
Local PHs, veterinarians, and helicopter pilots in SA have been arrested for participating in rhino poaching. In fact one of the worst offenders is a guy named Dawie Groenewald who used to run Out of Africa Safaris.
You can look it up but he used to exhibit at SCI and many people were very upset that he has even allowed there. He had been suspected of illegal activities for years and even when presented with proof SCI turned a blind eye.
Give me an FN-FAL and I will supply the plane ticket.
