| Abstract | When grey beards are donating life-long savings and children emptying piggy banks to save giant pandas from extinction, falcons, also under state protection, fall prey to poachers, mostly from Pakistan, who have flocked to Hebulksal county of Xinjiang to try their luck. The bird is to be smuggled out of China to the Middle East, and sold for up to US$200,000. |
