Demand side control of hard drugs hasn't worked in the US and Europe which people by and large take knowing possible harmful effects. So why would demand side control of something people believe to be actually good work? Panda population was brought back as far as we know largely by supply side interventions - a combination of investment plus as someone else mentions, death penalty for poachers.

The only instance of demand side control I remember actually working was when Greenpeace and the like mass broadcast ads of cute seal pups being clubbed to death but and models wearing fur coats trailing blood etc.

Maybe, the appropriate imagery needs to be found for the causes of Rhinos and drugs by the activists.
