[NEWS] COAST GUARDS OF TAIWAN SEIZED MORE THAN 3,600 TURTLES INTENDED FOR SMUGGLING OUT OF THE COUNTRY

    A total of 3,676 freshwater turtles in three species were seized on 16 July, 2015 in a residence in Taoyuang City in northern Taiwan by the Second Tainan Grigate of the of the Southern Coastal Patrol Office of the Coast Guard Administration (CGA). All three species are protected under Taiwan’s Wildlife Conservation Act and regulated by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wid Fauna and Flora (CITES).
    Among the turtles seized were 2,286 yellow-margined box turtles (Cuora flavomarginata), 920 yellow pond turtles (Mauremys mutica), and 469 Chinese pond turtles (Mauremys reevesii). In addition, 14 snakes, 5 pangolins, and over half a ton of lumbar belonging to two endemic Taiwan species were also confiscated.
    The Coast Guard received information on the intended smuggling of these protected species through fishing boats to be sold in China. The wildlife and lumbar were hunted illegally throughout Taiwan and were stored in the warehouse inside the suspect’s residence in Taoyuang.
    Over the past 10 years, the yellow-margined box turtle had been a favorite target for smuggling from Taiwan and over 6,000 turtles were seized during the period. The number of yellow pond turtles found in confiscated cases only increased significantly in the past two years. These turtles are not intended for food or medicinal use as previously reported, and are traded as commodity by Chinese, especially in the southern provinces.
    Pangolins are being hunted illegally in South Asian countries and in African countries and numerous seizures were reported in recent years. Previously, pangolin poaching in Taiwan was reported only sparingly (which is also a protected species in Taiwan), and were for local consumption. This is the first case in which the pangolins were intended for exporting!
    Lowland forests and streams in Taiwan are the natural habitats for the box turtlle and the yellow pond turtle, respectively. The ant-eating pangolin is found throughout the island from sea level to over 2,000 meters in elevation. Poaching has surpassed habitat destruction to become the most serious threat for these species in Taiwan.
