Baby gorilla smuggled from Nigeria to Bangkok intercepted at Istanbul Airport

11 Sept 08:02Key points summarised by AI

Authorities at Istanbul Airport intercepted a critically endangered baby Western gorilla being smuggled in a container from Nigeria, destined for Bangkok.
The species is listed under CITES Appendix I, underscoring its severe threat of extinction and the illegality of its international trade.
The baby gorilla has been handed over to the Turkish Agriculture and Forestry Ministry for observation and is reportedly in better condition.
Wildlife experts are urging Thai authorities to investigate the smuggling network, noting the high value of such animals and the importance of targeting major players in these illegal operations.

Students rallied at Government House, protesting the government's perceived complacency and inaction regarding the persistent PM2.5 dust problem, despite its declaration as a national agenda last year.
Protesters demanded immediate and long-term measures, proposing public information campaigns, free face masks, increased dust monitoring devices, and the promulgation of a Clean Air Act.
While Bangkok's PM2.5 levels have generally reduced, northern provinces like Lampang and Chiang Mai are experiencing deteriorating conditions, largely due to agricultural burning and forest fires.
