160 illegal wire traps cleared in China

A team of volunteers has helped to clear more than 160 illegal wire snares, which had been set by poachers to catch rabbits and deer.

The traps sometimes catch Amur tigers too, which is why the group of doctors, engineers and students travelled to the northeast of China to try to remove the traps.
