Wildlife trafficking goes deeper than commonly understood.
Deeper under the sea in Honduras where sea cucumbers are fished by the ton to feed demand in Asia. Deeper into Colombia's hinterlands where the donkey population has plummeted, their skins sold to make gelatin in China. Deeper into Peru's turtle hatcheries and Mexico's crocodile farms, where specimens intended to help restore populations in the wild are being trafficked all the same.
This investigative series was carried out in conjunction with American University’s Center for Latin American and Latino Studies (CLALS).
