Clouded Leopard (Poaching)

Taxidermied clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa); Sumatra, Indonesia. This species is listed as vulnerable, with poaching representing just one threat to their survival, along with habitat loss. Skins, claws and teeth are sold for decoration and clothing, bones and meat as substitute for tiger in traditional Asian medicines and tonics, and live animals for the pet trade. Few poaching incidents have been documented, but all range states are believed to have some degree of commercial poaching. In recent years, substantial domestic markets existed in Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam.
