The dangers of wildlife trade
The global wildlife trade, legal and illegal, can:
- Threaten biodiversity and risk losing endangered species forever
- Spread infectious disease to livestock and humans
- Cause needless suffering to animals, as well as humans.
Worldwide, 7,725 species of animals, from insects and birds to gorillas, elephants and reptiles, are considered at risk of extinction. That’s 20% of all known mammal species and 12% of known species of birds threatened with being lost forever.
