Bird's Nest Bust: A Crackdown on Wildlife Trafficking? Last week, Sarawak police in Malaysia announced a major seizure of bird's nests worth over $26 million.
The raids, part of Ops Bersepadu Khazanah, netted 16,367kg of the prized delicacy, along with other wildlife items. The sheer scale of the seizure is striking.
The estimated value of the seized bird's nests alone is a staggering $26 million, raising questions about the scope and sophistication of the trade.
