Vietnam at bottom of rankings for wildlife crime
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A conservation group says Vietnam is the worst country for wildlife crime in its first-ever ranking of how well 23 countries in Asia and Africa protect rhinos, tigers and elephants.
WWF says Vietnam is the main destination for rhino horns trafficked from South Africa. The Switzerland-based group also said Vietnam's 2007 decision to legalize tiger farms undermines its efforts to police illegal trade in tiger products.
