Illegal wildlife trade: NParks K9 unit on call at maritime ports to sniff out suspicious cargo
To boost its fight against illegal wildlife trade, the National Parks Board may deploy its K9 unit at maritime ports for the first time, when suspicious cargo is flagged. The dogs now only sniff out wildlife contraband at land and air borders. They helped in one of the country's largest seizures to date - about 35 kilogrammes of rhino horns smuggled through Changi Airport. Rachel Teng reports.
