From the Wildlife Justice Commission series Wildlife Kingpin, comes part two of Operation Dragon: The Trap is Sprung. The trap laid by our investigators is sprung on traffickers of endangered turtles and tortoises in East and Southeast Asia. Discover how the information we provided to law enforcement led to successful raids and arrests of high-level traffickers. Operation Dragon also resulted in the rescue of more than 6,000 freshwater turtles and tortoises, including threatened species such as the black spotted turtle and the Indian star tortoise.
