via Is China behind the threat to African wildlife? – People’s Daily Online.

As Chinese prosperity increases, citizens of other countries will become envious and try to pick holes in China’s way of life, like for example, traditional Chinese medicine.

I am a passionate animal rights supporter, perhaps not quite an activist. However, on my travels I have identified, for example, how China takes great national pride in looking after her pandas; meanwhile, I sadly must conclude that Malaysia has neglected her bio-diversity in favor of becoming a global player in palm-oil production.

Any thoughts on protecting wildlife in Afica?
