Vietnams Wildlife Trade Exposed

My Scholarship entry - Vietnams Wildlife Trade Exposed

Early morning in Southern Vietnam we head to a local market to see what native wildlife is available to purchase for consumption. This market is situated close to U Minh Thuong National Park. The park has been flooded to prevent bushfires. This has forced many of the wildlife out into the surrounding farm lands where they are being poached for food. Not only are they sold at local markets but are also part of the demanding wildlife trade in China.
