Subjects: Agricultural Science / Biology

INTRODUCTION – Why is this a Global Justice Issue?

Wildlife trafficking involves the illegal trade, smuggling, poaching, capture, or collection of endangered species, protected wildlife. Poaching and the illegal wildlife trade have far-reaching ecological, national security, and economic consequences that are undermining decades of conservation and development gains. It is a crime fuelled by a lucrative black market trade of animal parts. The animal parts are sold as novelty items or for their “medicinal” properties. Poaching and the illegal trade in wildlife negatively impacts: the resilience of ecosystems; human security across countries and regions; and national wealth and the ability of countries to generate employment, reduce poverty through tourism, and provide dependable livelihoods through community-based natural resource management.
