What is this country of which you speak?

Actually, poaching is not the issue for the vast number of endangered animals, and the US has the second largest list of species on the endangered list worldwide. Forget China, we could do a lot right here. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com...gered-species/

Actually I have seen many documentaries on the efforts by the various local African government to crack down on poaching and to protect the animals in their countries. The demand from China drives the trade in animal products.
