A new report highlights widespread monkey laundering in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Laos has significantly increased its estimate of wild macaques to justify legalizing their capture, raising concerns of official complicity in laundering monkeys for the biomedical industry.

Latest for @mongabay.bsky.social digs into the dubious data #Cambodia and #Vietnam are providing to global wildlife trade regulator CITES regarding the trade of endangered long-tailed macaques. The demand from US biomedical research firms is driving prolific monkey smuggling syndicates across SEA.
