Early in 2005,the State Forestry Administration(SFA),an agency tasked with implementing wildlife controls,said,“it will crack_down_on online trading of endangered species.”In order to crack down on online animal sales,the IFAW and Taobao.com jointly launched a monthlong campaign on Thursday.Taobao.com will put a notice on its homepage to encourage people to inform it of the sale of wildlife.People who report illegal activities can get IFAW gifts and wildlife conservation information.
“It is extremely satisfying to see the results of our investigation get the attention of society,”Ge Rui,IFAW's Asia regional director, said.“Money earned in the illegal international trade in wildlife is second only to the international trade in illegal drugs and arms.Humans' greed drives the trade,”Feng Yonglin, an SFA official, said on Thursday.
“This year, Taobao.com discovered 1,420 sales involving illegal trade in wild animals and blocked 263 members and stores online,” Ni Liang, senior manager of Taobao, said on Thursday.
Investigators noted a large bowl made from rhinoceros horn that was among the most expensive listings discovered during the global investigation,offered at $ 23,317 on the website,a polar bear skin for $25,825 and a 12cm tiger tooth for $1,873 this year.
On Nov.15 last year, Suzhou customs cracked an international illegal trade of two complete Asian elephant tusks worth 500,000 yuan.
