A major report revealing details of large-scale ivory smuggling from Tanzania to China was released last week by EIA.

Vixay Keosavang is one of the most ruthless and prolific wildlife criminals operating in South-East Asia today.

The annual festive break is once more upon us and a new year is just around the corner – and on behalf of everybody here at EIA’s London HQ, I’d like to wish all of our supporters everywhere season’s greetings and all best wishes for a peaceful and productive 2014
