Denpasar, Bali – Endangered wildlife is on open sale at a market only a 30-minute drive from a convention centre in Bali where United States President Joe Biden and other world leaders will meet to discuss pandemic recovery strategies at the G20 Summit later this year.
The current inventory on offer from the market’s various outlets includes metre-long iguanas – kept in cages a third the size of their captives amid dead rodents on the floor – porcupines, pythons from Indonesia’s remote Papua Province, frill-necked lizards, civets, large-eyed owls with clipped wings, parrots, and critically-endangered Bali starlings.
