Surveys on tokay gecko trade as traditional Chinese medicine in Hong Kong put spotlight on imports from Indonesia and Vietnam 香港传统中药大壁虎的贸易调查聚焦来自印度尼西亚和越南的进口

Abstract

Tokay geckos are traded in large volumes in Hong Kong, though the sustainability and legality of this trade are unclear. Two studies have been published on Hong Kong's tokay gecko trade. We examine the findings of both and make consolidated recommendations to ensure trade is not detrimental to this species.
