Inside China s deadly Rhino horn trade: Corrupt officers, personnel and prosecutors

Inside China’s deadly Rhino horn trade: Corrupt officers, personnel and prosecutors Abbianca Makoni Inside China’s deadly Rhino horn trade: smugglers caught at airport Prosecutors, police officers, international airlines and even diplomats in South East Asia have been working with criminal gangs to smuggle millions of pounds worth of endangered Rhino horns through border crossings so they can go on to reach customers in China and Vietnam.

Now, one might think that IWT is very much a regional issue: Iconic wildlife such as elephants are poached in Africa, and probably in Asia, too, and the proceeds are primarily sold in East Asia, where followers of traditional Chinese medicine advocate various health benefits. However, that is in fact not the case.

Stop the Illegal Wildlife Trade: How loopholes in China’s animal protection law risk new virus outbreaks William Yang © Provided by The Independent It’s more than a year since an outbreak of a mystery virus was traced to a wet market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, and it’s hard for anyone to imagine in January 2020 that the previously unknown disease, which would come to be known as Covid-19, would have gone on to infect more than 100 million people worldwide.   Soon after the virus spread across the city of more than 11 million people in January 2020, local officials in Wuhan quickly shut down the Huanan Seafood Market. Then in February 2020, China’s National People’s Congress passed a ban on the consumption of wild animals as food.
