Hunting the hunters

Editor’s note: In November 2008, Southeast Asia Globe published these extracts from “Black Market – Inside the Endangered Species Trade in Asia” by Ben Davies. Illustrated through haunting photos by Patrick Brown, the book follows the world’s illegal wildlife trade from the jungles of Assam to the brothels of Saigon. Despite decades of fighting back against poachers and the wealthy officials who turn a blind eye, endangered wildlife trafficking remains rampant across Southeast Asia, driven by rising demand for animal parts for trinkets, talismans or traditional medicine.
