There's a good article by Chinese wildlife conservationist Lishu Li on the #PBSNature site about her efforts to curb wildlife trafficking.
"The turtle on my grandmother’s kitchen floor today reminds me not of wrongs committed, but of perspectives that have broadened and must continue to shift. Some of that shifting will come from outside pressure, but I am most interested in the kind that happens from within, as people who have long sensed something was off stop waiting for permission to act."
"China today is unrecognizable from the country I grew up in. Eating wild meat now carries shame and there is real public consensus around protection. But trafficking has not vanished; it has changed shape."
