2015至2019期間，至少有5035種活體野生動物從南非出口到中國，包括長頸鹿、黑猩猩、黑腳企鵝等瀕危及受保護物種。調查發現出入口審批程序非常鬆懈，許可證隨意填寫，完全無視並違反瀕危物種貿易公約的規定。

At least 5035 species of live wild animal were exported from South Africa to China during 2015-2019, including endangered and protected species like giraffes, chimpanzees and African penguins. The investigation found the wildlife trade with China is riddled with irregularities; there were loopholes in permissions and oversight system, ignoring and violating the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
