Pramuka Bird Market: Black Market


The illegal trade of protected animals continues in Indonesia e Law No. 5/1990. Applying the law by banning illegal trade in protected animals has so far failed to stop the trafficking.
The Gibbon Foundation director, Willie Smits, said on Monday that Jakarta was great as a center of illegal trade in protected animals.
""Various kinds of protected animals can be easily found at the Pramuka bird market on Jl. Pramuka, East Jakarta. It is the biggest black market for protected animals around the world,"" he said.
The number of protected animals has continued to decrease due to the illegal trade.
""It could harm the balance of nature,"" Smits said.
Every single day, three to five orangutans are sold at Pramuka market from the total world population of 14,000, he said.
