ADM Capital Foundation Publishes ‘Trading in Extinction’ Report

An ADM Capital Foundation report for the first time documents the scale and nature of wildlife trafficking in Hong Kong, highlighting serious and organized crime.

Featured by the South China Morning Post and the New York Times, the report ‘Trading in Extinction: The Dark Side of Hong Kong’s Wildlife Trade’, consolidates a large body of pre-existing work and reconciles this with a snapshot of Hong Kong’s seizure data. It aims to update and, for the first time, illustrate the extent and nature of the wildlife trade and wildlife crime in Hong Kong. It demonstrates that not only is the trade in legal and illegal wildlife at a significant and unsustainable scale, it is likely to get worse.
