The Problem:
Wildlife trafficking is one of the largest threats to biodiversity worldwide, driving countless species to the brink of extinction. Every year, millions of animals and animal products—ranging from elephants’ ivory and rhino horns to exotic pets and traditional medicine ingredients—are illegally traded across borders. This illicit industry not only causes immense animal suffering but also fuels organized crime, threatens ecosystems, and undermines global conservation efforts.
Why It Matters:
Trafficked animals endure cruel capture methods, brutal transport conditions, and often die before reaching their destinations.
The decline of keystone species disrupts ecosystems, impacting food security and climate regulation.
Wildlife trafficking contributes to the spread of zoonotic diseases, posing serious risks to human health.
Protecting wildlife is essential for preserving global biodiversity and maintaining balanced ecosystems.
Our Demands:
We call on governments, international organizations, and enforcement agencies to:
Strengthen and harmonize international laws to close loopholes and increase penalties for traffickers.
Increase funding and support for wildlife protection agencies, anti-trafficking units, and conservation programs.
Enhance cross-border cooperation and intelligence sharing to dismantle trafficking networks.
Launch global education campaigns to reduce demand for illegal wildlife products and promote ethical alternatives.
We, the undersigned, demand urgent global action to end wildlife trafficking, protect endangered species, and preserve our planet’s natural heritage for future generations.
