""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.
