Australia, June 2013—Australia's federal department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has warned consumers against taking up offers via the internet for importing sports and other health supplements containing endangered plant and animal species.
The department is particularly concerned by recent advertising for free bottles of Max Thermo Burn capsules from North America.
Max Thermo Burn capsules contain Hoodia gordonii. Hoodia gordonii is a cactus-like plant and is listed as endangered under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
Los Angeles, USA, May 2013—The sentencing on May 15 of two California businessmen in Los Angeles for trafficking in rhino horn will send both to prison and ensure that $800,000 of their illegally acquired "profits" end up helping protect rhinos in Africa.
Saying she wanted to send a message against the “extremely serious” crime of trafficking in rhinoceros horns, federal judge Christina Snyder remarked that she had traveled to Africa and personally witnessed the effects of poaching.
