ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 23,
\n(Xinhua\/GNA) – China’s proactive stance against illicit wildlife trafficking in
\nAfrica in recent years has helped shift trends in Africa’s wildlife trafficking
\ncrime, according to a new publication by the Institute for Security Studies
\n(ISS).<\/span><\/p>\n

The ISS, an African
\nnon-profit organization, in its latest weekly publication on Thursday entitled
\n“China is Proving Key to Reducing Africa’s Wildlife Trafficking”,
\nstressed that “China’s proactive stance against illicit wildlife
\ntrafficking in Africa in recent years has helped shift trends in this
\ncrime”. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the
\ninstitute, where cooperation with China has occurred with certain African
\ncountries, wildlife smuggling has moved to other parts of the continent. <\/span><\/p>\n

“This shows
\nthat tougher measures are working – and African countries with high rates of
\ntrafficking should follow suit,” it said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Noting that China,
\nsince 2017, has closed its domestic ivory market and banned commercial
\nprocessing of rhino horns and tiger bones, the ISS also stressed that China has
\n“tightened legislation on trade in endangered fauna and flora”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Peng Youdong, deputy
\nadministrator of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (NGFA) of
\nChina, had also recently stressed that Beijing had provided funds, technology,
\nand expertise to boost wildlife protection in Africa. <\/span><\/p>\n

“In recent
\nyears, China-Africa cooperation in the wildlife conservation has been well
\ndeveloped,” Peng told a recent workshop in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, on
\naddressing wildlife trafficking. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Cooperation
\nbetween African countries and China is a strong deterrent for trafficking
\nringleaders,” the ISS said. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ISS also quoted
\nTaye Teferi, Africa policy and partnership coordinator of the wildlife trade
\nmonitoring network TRAFFIC, saying that “cooperation between African
\ncountries and China provide a strong deterrence for kingpins or
\nringleaders”. <\/span><\/p>\n

“This is mainly
\ndue to the fear of extradition to China, where culprits could face stiffer
\npenalties and even the death penalty,” the institute said, as it also
\nurged “Cameroon and Nigeria should exchange intelligence information with
\nChina on criminal networks”. <\/span><\/p>\n

The institute also
\nurged Central and West African countries “to move fast to block the
\nnetworks of wildlife criminals who are rapidly infiltrating these
\nregions”. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Once Africa
\nhas bolstered itself against wildlife criminals across all regions through
\nsuccessful cooperation with China, the same model can be applied to other
\nmarkets in Asia,” said the report. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Japan, for
\nexample, is another major market for wildlife products, as are other minor
\nAsian destinations such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos,” the ISS said in
\nthe report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
