Specifically, I'm looking for a list of countries that are doing research into saving endangered and extinct animals in this manner. I know the US is, definitely, we have tons of research on it and just recently had a breakthrough successful study with ducks and chickens.
To make sure I get the information I need I guess I should say that I'm asking because I am curious as to if asian countries like China and Japan are doing research or have any real efforts into actually preserving their endangered species since they have a HUGE market with poachers and using them for "holistic remedies", like the Chinese giant salamander which is all but gone. A lot of these really interesting animals have NO capitalistic value except for these "holistic purposes" to make into tinctures and such, a lot of them with questionable physical workability.
