Ivory Trafficking

The slaughter of elephants for their ivory tusks has reached crisis proportions, and Malaysia has become a key transit point in the illegal trade of ivory from Africa and China.

Dr. Chris Shepherd, the Regional Director of TRAFFIC Southeast Asia and Naftali Honig, the Coordinator of Project for the Application of Fauna (PALF) in the Republic of Congo, give us the lowdown of the situation and discuss how Malaysia can be more proactive in ensuring ivory doesn’t get past our ports.
