Wildlife Trafficking

Wildlife trafficking refers to the illegal trade of animals and plants, often driven by demand for exotic pets, traditional medicine, food, or luxury items. This practice threatens biodiversity, pushes species toward extinction, and disrupts ecosystems. Traffickers capture or harvest wildlife through methods that often cause harm and suffering. The global nature of this crime requires international cooperation to combat it effectively, as it undermines conservation efforts and can contribute to crime and corruption. Raising awareness and supporting sustainable practices can help combat wildlife trafficking and protect endangered species.
