Cambodian monkey exports to Canada for lab tests are surging, fueling health concerns
Hello readers,
We know it’s been a few months since you’ve heard from us, but Southeast Asia Globe had one last dance with our three-years-long investigative series into Cambodia’s murky monkey business.
In collaboration with The Toronto Star and backed by The Pulitzer Center’s Rainforest Investigations Network, Globe dug deep into how Cambodia’s exports of endangered long-tailed macaques had pivoted from the U.S. to Canada.
After a 2022 arrest and indictment, Cambodia’s direct exports to laboratories in the U.S. slowed, but Globe uncovered an uptick to its northern neighbor, Canada.
Keep an eye on your inbox over the next few weeks as we plan to share more updates about Globe’s future and will also have another story coming to you soon.
