Presumably, everyone has heard of many cases of being punished or even imprisoned for illegally obtaining or buying or selling prohibited items. For example, illegal felling of endangered protected plants is a typical illegal act. Hainan has cracked many cases of illegal felling of Huang Huali in Hainan, and many people in Sichuan have been jailed for felling Phoebe bournei. A friend was caught smuggling lobular rosewood in India. However, whether processing plants, raw material suppliers and sellers are illegal is not the player's greatest concern. It is also illegal for players to buy anything, which is the key point that should be understood. Everyone doesn't want to play with himself in prison, so which Wan Wen are illegally bought and sold?
I. Ivory
Ivory in a narrow sense refers to the tusks of male elephants. Ivory is often processed into works of art, jewelry or jewelry. In ancient China, it was used by court dignitaries to make water boards, pen containers and decorations.
Ancient ivory products are handed down from history and can be collected. The contemporary trade in ivory and ivory products can only lead to more killings, so it is absolutely forbidden at present.
Second, rhinoceros horn
Rhinoceros horn is taken from rhinoceros horn and is mainly divided into Asian rhinoceros and African rhinoceros. Rhinoceros horn not only has the effect of detoxification and exorcism, but also has a long carving culture, just like the carving art of bamboo, wood, gold and jade. On the black market, the price of rhinoceros horn is comparable to that of gold, and its huge profits have triggered the crazy hunting behavior of poachers. At present, there is only one male white rhinoceros left in the world. In order to protect this species, 40 forest rangers in Kenya hold guns around the clock to protect it.
Third, red coral.
How precious is red coral? There is a saying that is easy to understand. When South Red Agate landed in Tibetan areas, it was all the rage because red corals were scarce and hard to find, and South Red Agate appeared as its substitute. Now the south red agate has risen to sky-high prices, and it is better to price it in grams. Body double is so awesome in body art, not to mention God.
Red coral is an organic gem with pleasant color and bright texture, which grows in the deep sea from 0/00 to 2000 meters away from human/kloc. It is also listed as one of the seven treasures in the eastern Buddhist scriptures.
Natural red coral is formed by coral accumulation, which grows very slowly and cannot be regenerated. And only grows in a few straits (Taiwan Province Strait, Japanese Strait, Baltic Strait, Mediterranean Sea), so it is extremely precious. Nowadays, due to environmental pollution and destruction, red coral resources are in jeopardy, so they are listed in the red line where trading is strictly prohibited.
Fourth, he dinghong
This thing is not common now, but it is no stranger to China people hundreds of years ago. Known as "Heding" in historical materials, Heding Red ranks first among the contraband "One Red, Two Black and Three White" in Wan Wen, and it is the head of an endangered bird, which is today's helmet hornbill. The skin of the male's head and neck is bare and red. Some hornbills have heads, but they are only solid, so they can be used for carving. Made into snuff bottles, belt buckles, small animals or scenic figures and other carved works of art. Nowadays, the popularity of bird heads and black market transactions have led to the extinction of helmet hornbills. Everything follows the market law of "rare things are precious", but for their own hobbies and selfish desires, other creatures have become extinct, and some have no humanity. No business, no killing. Species are on the verge of extinction, so it's not forbidden to buy and sell, okay? Helmet hornbill is a first-class protected species under the Washington Convention (CITES) (extremely endangered and prohibited from international trade).
Five, antelope horn
Protection level: national first-class protected animals.
Substitute: old glass, white bodhi root
Antelope horn is a very precious medicinal material with delicate and moist texture. Saiga antelope horn is considered to be the best quality. Only male antelopes have beautiful antelope horns. Antelope horn's excellent medicinal effect and scarce quantity make it extremely expensive. Saiga antelope has been listed as an extremely endangered animal species and resolutely resists illegal trafficking.
