Bogotá emerges as hub for wildlife trafficking; 15,540 animals recovered under Galán

Bogotá has become a central node for wildlife trafficking in Colombia, with 15,540 wild animals recovered during the Galán administration, 1,527 of which were victims of illegal trafficking. The scale underscores the city's role in the illicit trade, though the source is a single news report and lacks independent corroboration. This highlights a law enforcement and environmental challenge, but it is not a market-moving event.
