A trafficker arrested with a baby mandrill
Cameroon, 29 Jun 2021
A trafficker arrested with a baby mandrill. The plan was to rescue two mandrills but one died the day before the operation, showing how crucial it is to rescue these baby primates fast as they live on burrowed time. The trafficker admitted that a third mandrill she tried to sell died as well. She added that her father who is a traditional chief lends his gun for poachers that he activates and he is her supplier, while she has a regular buyer for live primates.
Great work of Serge, Gilbert and Stevens with the Cameroonian authorities.
