SAHABAT Alam Malaysia (SAM) is strongly opposed to the exploitation of wildlife for the exotic skins trade, mainly for the luxury fashion industry. The trade in exotic animal and reptile skins, in particular, generates thousands of animal victims to fulfil the demands of luxury fashion houses.

The recent decision by the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry to expand the python skin trade into the European market once the ban imposed by the European Union is lifted shows that monetary gains overrides all other concerns.
