Otters - the Forgotten Victims of Wildlife Crime

The Furget Me Not campaign is aimed at stopping the illegal killing of otters for the fur trade.  The first area that we are concentrating on is Cambodia, where Asian Small-Clawed Otters, Smooth Coated Otters and the incredibly rare Hairy-Nosed Otter are being killed illegally for pelts, which are traded by middle men to China.  The original trappers are fishermen for whom the money for the skins plays an important part in keeping their families alive, so the campaign aims to find a way to reconcile the survival of both otters and people.
