A bird trafficker with 2 Crested Cranes arrested
Uganda, 28 Feb 2016
EAGLE Uganda internet investigation resulted in an arrest of a birds trafficker with three Crowned Cranes - an endangered bird that is also the national symbol of Uganda. Vincent is very satisfied. It's not everyday you get to protect your national symbol :)
The joint team of EAGLE Uganda and the police discovered the wide international links of the trafficker and especially with UK. He was starting to invest his illicit revenue to build infrastructure for keeping illegally large quantities of birds and expand his business.
The trafficker is behind bars and Olivia is fighting to keep him there.
