Will the Environmental and Forest Ministry will take up with the Necessary Ministry in China for stopping this Menace?

Follow the money, the Thai government has it's whole head and shoulders inserted in the sweet smelling Chinese crack. And beyond the Panda diplomacy, the Chinese are not exactly renowned for their positive approach to the conservation of wildlife or natural resources.

It’s almost always down to the Chinese and their superstitions about animal parts being good for this or that with no scientific evidence to back any of the claims up while the natural world is depleted of rhino, pangolins, tigers and a host of other beautiful creatures. If only they could see the harm it does but at the end of the day the scarcity of these animals pushes up the price and the demand from these ignorant people.
