Wildlife Trade In Indonesia

Wild birds are smuggled illegally and traded on the black market to meet the demand for the pet trade, collectors, consumption, belief-based use, and even for bird fighting. Birds are one of the most traded groups with over 3,000 species, a third of all surviving species, reportedly affected by the trade. (Photo by Garry Lotulung/NurPhoto)
