senegal, 22 Jan 2017
2 Spanish traffickers arrested at the airport with 500 concealed birds. SALF was asked for assistance immediately after the arrest. The two professional traffickers concealed 500 birds of 14 protected species in their luggage in a sophisticated modus operandi trying to smuggle them to Spain. More than 300 birds were already dead from suffocation at the time of arrest. Cecile and the SALF team fought many attempts to liberate the two, as they are imprisoned while on trial.
