Hi, my name is Cat! I am an Environmental Education and Interpretation student at Cal Poly Humboldt. I currently do not have much experience as an environmental educator, but I have worked as a councelor at a summer camp centered around ecology(Evanston Ecology Center).

I am Mohammed Ali Al-Sayani, a Yemeni master craftsman and founder of Siyani Keratin, with 35 years of experience in traditional dagger craftsmanship and trade.

For over 20 years, I have developed alternatives to rhino horn. Our first phase succeeded in gaining acceptance among craftsmen and customers in Yemen and neighboring markets, creating a strong foundation for further change.

We have now developed the Golden Alternative, an advanced innovation worthy of our cultural heritage, with no commercial sales to date.

We seek professional collaboration to document our journey and introduce this innovation responsibly, making it a symbol of national pride and voluntary rhino conservation.
