Asian demand reshapes Africa's wildlife trade from donkeys to sharks
Original: From donkeys to sharks, Asian demand reshapes Africa’s wildlife trade
New reporting highlights how demand from Asian markets is transforming wildlife trade across Africa, with species ranging from donkeys to sharks increasingly targeted for export. Donkeys are in demand for products such as ejiao, a traditional Chinese gelatin, while sharks are sought for fins and other goods. Conservationists warn the trade is putting pressure on African wildlife populations and rural communities that rely on them.
Why now: Growing Asian demand for African species is raising fresh concerns about conservation and the sustainability of wildlife trade.
