Saving the Sumatran Serow

Reputed to have the power to fight everything from an itch to witchcraft, the Sumatran serow has been illegally hunted and traded to the point of vulnerability. In some good news, poachers in Malaysia are facing stiffer penalties for illegally hunting this secretive mountain goat-like animal. We explore this positive development in the fight against wildlife crime.
