HESC Statement On Breeding Programme

Our response to the recent Carte Blanche programme

HESC featured in a Carte Blanche programme (a South African investigative journalism television series) last night,17 May 2020, that focussed on the investigation into the illegal trade in wildlife. Lente Roode was appalled to learn that the legal trade in wildlife could in certain cases be supporting the black market in some countries.
