Illegal wildlife trafficking is a multibillion-dollar global industry that ranks as one of the largest black markets, alongside drug trafficking, human trafficking, and arms smuggling. It involves the illegal hunting, harvesting, and trade of protected species and their derivatives, such as ivory, rhino horns, pangolin scales, exotic pets, and timber. This illicit activity has profound ecological, economic, and social consequences - funding corruption, violence, and organized crime.
From poachers to black markets, the supply chain thrives on high profits and low risks. But with technology, enforcement, and global awareness, we can disrupt this deadly trade.
Watch now to learn how poaching fuels crime—and how we can stop it.
