Hello,
I am looking for any official checklist of insect and reptile species protected (and/or endangered) in Malaysia. Such list would be a very helpful tool to fight with insect/reptile smugglers collecting species in Malaysia and SE Asia and later selling them in Europe.
Thank you in advance for your kind help.
Best greetings,
Radomir
Tried this already? http://earthsendangered.com/search-regions3.asp. For the start.
Tried searching/contacting Traffic: http://www.traffic.org/reptiles-amphibians/ (there's e.g. a report TRADE IN MALAGASY REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS IN THAILAND)?
I couldn't find anything concrete, sorry.
For wildlife protected in Malaysia, refer to the schedules in the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010: https://www.unodc.org/res/cld/document/wildlife-conservation-act-2010_html/Wildlife_Conservation_Act_2010.pdf
For wildlife trade, refer to the International Trade in Endangered Species Act 2008: http://www.wildlife.gov.my/images/stories/akta/akta686(bi).pdf

Regarding the endangered species the easiest is to query the IUCN redlist online ...
See http://www.iucnredlist.org
It isn't hard to work out once you play with it a bit.
For international trade a good place to start is the CITES listings, see
http://checklist.cites.org/#/en
Again not too hard to work it out.
Regarding specific Malaysian regulations see the attached (overlaps with the CITES, you need to search to see which are native and check updates).
Good luck
If you enter the IUCN redlist (www.iucn.redlist.org) you can click "search other options" that enables you to select the taxon and region you're interested in. It provides the option to print a list of all endangered species within your criteria, including information on the level of vulnerabilit (CR, EN, VU, ...).
