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.
