A Mausoleum for Endangered Species
Photographs by TRISTAN SPINSKIJULY 10, 2017
The cabinets and shelves of the National Wildlife Property Repository, just northeast of Denver, are crammed with stuffed monkeys
and ivory carvings, snow leopard coats and dried seal penises, chairs with tails and lamps with hooves.
Most of them are contraband, seized at airports in New York City, Los Angeles
and other major ports of entry; some are donated by people who have no use for them.
A warehouse in Colorado offers evidence of the immense demand for goods made from threatened and endangered animals.
