A U.S. environmental group said on Wednesday it had filed a complaint to Mexican state prosecutors, arguing that toothless regulation was allowing illegal wildlife trafficking to threaten species in one of the world's most biodiverse countries.
"Wildlife trafficking in Mexico is out of control," the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity said in a report pointing to lax penalties, lack of political will and unregulated markets, despite laws prohibiting the trade of protected species.
