NO buying, no killing. This slogan raises awareness of an international poaching crisis, but the truth is that endangered wildlife species face a variety of grave threats. Apart from publicizing the importance of protecting the wildlife, tougher penalties are needed to prohibit poaching and smuggling. From December 30. 2013 to January 26, 2014. China led a campaign against transnational wildlife crimes, in cooperation with other 27 countries and international organizations. The operation, code-named Cobra II, has inflicted a stunning blow on poachers and smugglers. It cracked over 350 cases involving more than 400 suspects, and captured more than 3 tons of ivory and ivory prod- ucts, including over 1.000 hides and a number of other wildlife products.
