Tengrinews.kz - 12 rare birds were found in the luggage of a passenger at Tashkent Airport.
According to UzDaily, the incident occurred with a passenger who arrived from Vietnam, specifically from Cam Ranh. In his luggage, employees of the State Customs Committee (SCC) of Uzbekistan discovered 12 rare shrubland birds that are protected and were not declared.
According to the SCC, these birds were hidden in fruit crates, clearly indicating an intention to conceal their transportation. Three birds died due to improper transport conditions. Inadequate living conditions during the flight proved fatal for the animals, which are already endangered.
A preliminary estimate of the value of the remaining birds exceeds 60 million Uzbekistan soms. It is noted that it is about yellow-throated and white-throated shrubland birds, rare species live primarily in South and East Asia. They are listed as vulnerable species and require protection from poachers and illegal trade.
At present, competent authorities are investigating the case.
Earlier, Samara Customs officers, in cooperation with border guards from the Orenburg region, stopped a woman at a vehicle checkpoint who was transporting a cat lemur in her car. The Russian woman was heading to Kazakhstan.
