CHINA NOT TO LIFT BAN ON TRADE IN TIGER PARTS.
BEIJING, June 1 Asia Pulse - Stunned by vigorous protests, including from Indian conservationists, China has decided not to lift a 14-year-old ban on trade in tiger parts.
Chinese Forestry officials said the government will maintain the ban on trade of all tiger derivatives despite intense lobbying from commercial groups to lift the ban.
The Chinese government remains committed to the policy, introduced in 1993 to wipe out the market for traditional medicines made from tigers, spokesman for the State Forestry Administration (SFA), Liu Xiongying, said.
