Wildlife monitoring group Traffic found that 49 species were being traded in 2010 compared to 47 in 2004, when a similar survey was carried out, with most species coming from outside Indonesia.

'The 2010 data confirms previous findings about the levels of illegal trade in freshwater turtles and tortoises in Jakarta's markets and also demonstrates how it has persisted,' researcher Carrie J Stengel said. 'Of further concern is the apparent increasing emphasis on rare and threatened species in the pet trade.'
