The police need the help of the people of London to stop the illegal trade in endangered species and you can help us.
If you see anything that appears to be made from an endangered species on sale, please report it to the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit. This could be a traditional Chinese medicine product or any other item made from an endangered species, but remember, the law controls trade, not possession, so the product has to be on sale or being kept, or advertised for sale.
Please help us to stop the illegal trade in endangered species.
