| Summary: | There are many negative impacts due to wildlife trafficking among which is the
extinction of species which in turn would affect the humans as any drastic change to the
natural world will impact all on earth. Malaysia is a location for illegal hunting and is a
hub for international wildlife trafficking. Many incidents include the involvement of
Thailand whereby trafficked animals destined to Thailand pass through Malaysia or in
some cases, seizes by Custom officials often occur at the Thai-Malaysia border. Poor
public awareness is said to be one of the reasons wildlife trafficking crimes occur
therefore creating awareness about wildlife trafficking is vital to help curb the problem.
One common method to create awareness is through awareness campaigns and both
government agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) deploy this method
to reach out to their target audience. |
