The Spring 2001 edition of Wildlife Merchandise is now available. We are currently in the process of constructing an on-line shopping facility and apologise that our full range is not available on this site. In the meantime should you wish to receive an up to date catalogue please email or telephone the Trading Co. The project is progressing well and due to this increased enforcement effort poaching is decreasing, but the fall of the Russian rouble and the continued demand for tigers parts for wildlife products remain a serious threat.
Evidence continues of tigers parts crossing into China.
With international concern focused on the African elephant little is given to the far more serious situation facing the last 35,000 Asian elephants. With the recent reopening of restricted ivory trading with Japan the wrong message is going out to the poachers and DSCF has stepped up its efforts working with experts in the field on anti-poaching and enforcement operations. Our 'Save the Rhino Trust' project becomes increasingly important as poaching for rhino horn continues. The project is run by one of the world's leading experts, in an area which probably holds the last truly wild populations of black rhino surviving in Africa. Through DSCF's Emergency Fund money goes towards this vital project monitoring critically endangered species including Snow Leopards and Gobi Bears, working with the local community to fight for their survival.
