Stomping Out Poaching: Ground Troops In The Fight to Save Wildlife

In a significant victory for wildlife protection, authorities in Malaysia seized over 1,000 parts from endangered species like Malayan tigers and leopards near Taman Negara National Park not too long ago. Four individuals were arrested, and this massive operation highlights the critical role of increased enforcement in protecting our biodiversity hotspots. We discuss the impact of this seizure, the ongoing fight against wildlife poaching and trafficking, and also the importance of continued investment in wildlife protection efforts with Kanitha Krishnasamy, the Director for TRAFFIC in Southeast Asia.
