Wildlife smuggling hubs in Asia
Okay, so you know how there are many different types of animals in the world such as tigers, elephants, and pangolins? Well, unfortunately, some people want to make money by catching these animals and selling them to other people who also want them.
In Asia, there are some places where this illegal activity is happening a lot. These places are called wildlife smuggling hubs. People who want to catch and sell animals go to these hubs because they know there are other people there who will buy the animals from them.
Sometimes the animals are caught and sold as pets, or they are used for things like traditional medicines. But this is very bad for the animals because they are taken from their homes in the wild and put into small cages where they can't move around or do the things they are supposed to do in their natural habitats.
Wildlife smuggling is illegal and it is not fair to the animals. It's important that we do everything we can to stop it and protect the animals from being hurt or taken from their homes.
