Scorpion Foundation today sends another report to the head of the Natural
Resource Conservation Agency (BKSDA) Jakarta reporting illegal wildlife traffic in Pramuka wildlife market. The the wildlife entered Jakarta without transport permit from BKSDA office where

Jakarta so that this office can monitor and control the trade of the wildlife.
