A trafficker arrested with leopard skins
Gabon, 18 Jul 2015
A trafficker was arrested red handed in Gabon with 3 leopard skins, 7 teeth and one head in an operation by forces of order (B2) and Eaux et Forêts with support of our AALF team. He arrived to Mouila in the morning with his contraband hidden in a bag of rice. This case is yet another example to confirm the extent of illegal trafficking of wildlife organized in the province of Ngounié.
The trafficker will be presented to the prosecutor to face the punishment for trafficking a totally protected species according to the Forestry Code.
