Combating Illegal Wildlife Trade
Illegal wildlife trade poses a severe threat to global biodiversity, ecosystems, and human well-being. This illicit activity involves the illegal capture, trade, and sale of wildlife, including endangered species, and is driven by various factors such as demand for exotic pets, traditional medicine, and luxury goods. Combating this trade requires concerted efforts from governments, international organizations, conservation groups, and individuals to strengthen law enforcement, raise awareness, and promote sustainable practices.
