The Notivory Fund has ignited a journalistic investigation

According to various sources, in 2018 the number of Yakut deer decreased by 10 thousand and is only 146 thousand individuals, which is a troubling sign. In addition, the price of deer antlers is growing exponentially. There is an assumption that this is associated with the following unique feature: in the growing antlers of adult deer contain embryonic stem cells. Who, why and in what volumes are buying antlers? What are the consequences of increasing demand and how far can all this go? These are the questions that Notivory journalists have to find answers to.
