A pity the scenario of wild bird meat trade has not been highlighted. Thanks to the underground operations made even more so by the silent killing effects of Furadan.

It is painful to look at the bulky, shocking figures of the bushmeat exports spelling doom to Kenya’s once very rich and almost intact biodiversity. This has to stop!
