4. Counter wildlife traffickingwildlife alliance's counter wildlife trafficking program is unique in that they do not address just one aspect of the illegal wildlife trade-cracking down on illegal wildlife shipments, confiscating live animals, bush meat and vehicles and providing care and rehabilitation for the animals but we cover every aspect of the illegal trade as thoroughly as possible. Wildlife alliance has developed successful release programs throughout the rainforests, lakes and wetlands of cambodia with emphasis on the southern cardamom mountain range which is the best protected wilderness of the region.
