REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Online market apparently contributed to the tiger extinction in Indonesia, the activist of HarimauKita Forum, HA Wahyudi, said, it traded tiger's organ in cyber world. “Internet contributes to the increasing of poaching and trading of Sumatran Tiger and its organs,” Wahyudi said.
