Liquor made from tiger bones packed in attractive bottles. Tiger cubs kept alive to be sold as pets or dishes of pangolin and cobra snake in special restaurants. Rooms filled with rhino horns, elephant tusks, freshly skinned tiger hides, and pangolin scales. Jewelry made from protected coral and elephant tusks.

These are all scenes discovered by secret investigators from the US-based environmental crime investigation non-governmental organization Earth League International (ELI) during their investigation into the thriving illegal wildlife trade in Cambodia.
