Bangkok is sending almost 1,000 highly endangered lemurs and tortoises back to their home in Madagascar, in what both countries called their biggest ever operation against wildlife trafficking.
Thai police found and confiscated 1,117 of the live and dead animals in the southern province of Chumphon in May – the kingdom’s largest ever seizure, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
