Macau was the only out of 13 Asian nations and territories surveyed by a wildlife trade monitoring network where no products made from bile extracted from bears’ gall bladders were found on sale.
According to TRAFFIC, poaching and illegal trade of bears, whose bile is used in traditional medicine and folk remedies, remains strong across Asia.
The products were most frequently found in the mainland (where they are legal), Hong Kong, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam, Reuters reported.
The countries and territories surveyed included Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, the mainland, Japan, Laos, Korea, Taiwan and Macau.
