it says " ‘Poaching remains the principal threat to the tigers’ survival,’ Rolex adds. The animals are killed in retaliation, mainly for loss of cattle and wild prey and as hunting trophies. There is also demand for their skin, bones and body parts, used primarily in Chinese traditional medicine. Despite international laws banning the sale of tiger parts there is a lucrative market that fuels poaching. In their campaign to reduce the slaughter, Bereznuk and the Vladivostok-based Phoenix Fund provide anti-poaching teams with software—the Management Information System (MIST)—developed specifically for this purpose by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Up-to-date, relevant and timely information is an integral part of effective protected area management.” " thats all it says

To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and consider each one:
A. Traditional Chinese medicine is against the law in China.
This option suggests that traditional Chinese medicine is illegal in China. However, traditional Chinese medicine is a well-established practice in China, so this option is not correct.
B. China has little wildlife remaining, so it must import animal products.
This option suggests that China has depleted its own wildlife populations, leading to the importation of animal products from other countries. While China does face significant challenges in conserving its wildlife, it is not the primary reason for the global impact of traditional Chinese medicine. Consequently, this option is not the best choice.
C. It is less expensive to obtain these animal products from other countries.
This option suggests that obtaining animal products for traditional Chinese medicine from other countries is more cost-effective than producing them within China. While cost plays a role in the trade of animal products, it is not the primary reason for the global impact of traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, this option is not the correct answer.
D. The demand for traditional Chinese medicine products outside of China has increased.
This option suggests that the demand for traditional Chinese medicine products outside of China has risen, resulting in a global impact on wildlife populations. This is the correct answer. The increased demand for traditional Chinese medicine products worldwide has led to a higher demand for various animal parts and derivatives, contributing to the decline of wildlife populations globally.
In conclusion, the correct answer is D: The demand for traditional Chinese medicine products outside of China has increased.
