Why are endangered species being sold on Facebook? | Global News Podcast


A BBC investigation has found that endangered species are being openly sold on Facebook.

Meta says it does not allow the sale of endangered species, and removes this content when it becomes aware of it.

We speak to our investigations correspondent, Angus Crawford.
