WWF: Asia fuels illegal wildlife parts trade (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Vietnam, Laos and Mozambique have been ranked lowest in a report focusing on the illegal rhino horn, ivory and tiger-part trade.

The report by conservation group WWF scored 23 countries "facing high levels of poaching and trafficking" of these items.

Vietnam was the "top destination for rhino horn", fuelling a poaching crisis in South Africa, the report said.

Laos and Mozambique failed on ivory trade compliance and enforcement.

WWF describes the 23 countries assessed as "top-range transit and destination countries implicated in illegal trade of elephant, rhino and tiger products".
