  • If there were no markets for this wildlife there would be no trafficking. Need to punish the buyers as well.

  • Very informative episodes on the great work that they are doing.

  • Great work! I really love reading these inspiring stories, especially where environmental issues are involved.

  • That would be a wonderful thing to be fully rid of.  We'd have to first rid the world of all the corrupt minds for this to happen Dizzy faceDizzy

  • SAD THAT SUCH TRAFFIKING IS STILL HAPPENING.  HOWEVER, UNLESS THE POVERTY CAN BE FIXED, DESPERATE PEOPLE WILL SMUGGLE IN ORDER TO GET MONEY.
