Over 5,800 protected species items—including elephant ivory, rhino skulls, and crocodile leather—were surrendered to the Netherlands in just one year, a shocking spike from the prior year’s 1,100. Anonymous drop-offs are surging, with entire boxes turning up, as collectors and traders may be acting out of fear or simply following a new trend. The agency plans to destroy most items to cut off illegal trade, reserving a small portion for research and education. This surge hints at growing awareness—and a hopeful step toward protecting endangered species.
