“Yuk Ming (Peter) Ho of Richmond, British Columbia received a $9,000.00 fine yesterday after pleading guilty in
Richmond Provincial Court to illegally importing over 30,000 pieces of African elephant ivory. Mr. Ho was also ordered to pay a further $9,000.00 to TRAFFIC, (a division of the World Wildlife Fund,) to support programs for the
conservation of the African elephant, and to forfeit all of the ivory seized during the investigation which wildlife officers have estimated to be worth over $100,000.00 at the retail level.” - CNW Group
