A study released yesterday by the global wildlife NGO TRAFFIC suggests that most of Viet Nam’s online illegal wildlife trade does not take place on websites ending in .vn, as previously thought, and instead monitoring efforts should focus on .com sites, and social media.
The study, available online, is titled Viet Nam Online: A rapid assessment of e-commerce wildlife trade in Viet Nam in 2017.
This is in contrast to similar surveys previously conducted of Viet Nam’s online wildlife trade that have included .com domain names, including social media websites, that discovered many more advertisements for wildlife products.
Online trade in Viet Nam is regulated by law. People who break it can be punished with the same severity as people who sell illegal wildlife products in a physical marketplace. However, collecting evidence and prosecuting online crime can be very difficult, and Vietnam prosecutes few wildlife crimes.
Vietnam is among the top markets for illegal wildlife products derived from endangered species and often the country is both a marketplace for Chinese nationals buying these products, or is used as a transit stop as these items make their way to China. Take a look at the report yourself.
