Taming the tiger trade : China's markets for wild and captive tiger products since the 1993 domestic trade ban

Kristin Nowell, Ling Xu

Open publisher page 45 citations

Abstract

TRAFFIC’s findings in this report provide strong evidence that China’s trade ban has been effective at reducing the market for Tiger products, particularly traditional medicines. Still, illegal trade remains a threat. China’s progress in Tiger conservation, especially Tiger trade, would almost certainly be undone if China’s market for Tiger products were re-opened.
