CANBERRA, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) Australian wildlife will be DNA tracked in an attempt to prevent the trafficking of exotic animals.
Sussan Ley, the Minister for the Environment, on Monday announced that the government would adopt the recommendations of a review of export permits for normative species conducted by KPMG.
The review found that endangered species such as the Glossy Black Cockatoo and Purple-Crowned Lorikeet have been exported for sale on the black market.
It recommended that the government establish a DNA databank of the genetic lineage of every animal imported and exported from Australia, allowing authorities to better track the animals and crackdown on trafficking.
