Orion Cruz, our International Associate, breaks down what wildlife trafficking is, the threats it poses to biodiversity, and what Defenders is doing to be part of the solution. Learn more: https://dfnd.us/internationalspecies Video Transcript: Why should you care about wildlife trafficking? Wildlife trafficking includes the poaching and other taking of wildlife in contravention of the law, and the illegal trade in wildlife and the related parts or products. It's highly profitable and estimated to be the fourth largest type of illegal trade after drugs, weapons and human trafficking. Think rare lizards, snakes and birds for pets. Jaguar fangs for jewelry, shark fins for soup and furs for fashion and trophies. So why does wildlife trafficking occur? Well, it all comes down to consumer demand. Since poaching to satisfy consumer demand can lead a species to become endangered, and because rare species tend to sell for more, traffickers are usually targeting the species that are most in need of protection. As a result of this pressure, many species are being pushed to the brink of extinction, making demand for wildlife a primary driver of the biodiversity crisis. The trafficking of live animals is just as horrific. Animals are often shipped inhumanely, crammed into tiny containers with limited food, water and air. In one study, researchers found that roughly 75 percent of parrots illegally shipped from Mexico died in transit. Wildlife trafficking poses a serious threat to global biodiversity. By increasing the chances that new diseases will spread from animals to humans, it also threatens human health. Unfortunately, data from seizures indicates the problem is only getting worse. To end wildlife trafficking, we must reduce the supply of and demand for wildlife, work with transit countries to eliminate trade channels and prioritize the conservation of wildlife globally. As part of the solution, Defenders of Wildlife is engaging in public education campaigns in trafficking hotspots like Mexico, partnering with countries around the world to strengthen wildlife trafficking laws and improve the implementation of international obligations and advocating for the protection of imperiled species and human health at forums like the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, also known as CITES, and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Help Vanishing Wetlands and Their Wildlife
Marshes, wet meadows, swamps, and other wetlands in the United States need your help.Ã‚Â

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, half of wetlands in the lower
Marshes, wet meadows, swamps, and other wetlands in the United States need your help.Ã‚Â

According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, half of wetlands in the lower 48 states â€” an area about the size of Yellowstone â€” have disappeared since the 1780s. And those that remain are at high risk: In 2023 the U.S. Supreme Court stripped 50 years of federal protection from many of these precious areas, leaving them vulnerable to draining, filling, excavating, and other destructive processes.

Learn more at www.saveourfreshwater.org.

Nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species use wetlands for breeding, nesting, feeding, and migration. More than 33% of them live only in wetlands. Losing these water-saturated ecosystems harms water quality, increases vulnerability to flood and climate change, and pushes thousands of animals and plants closer to extinction.Ã‚Â

But not all endangered wetland species have designated critical habitat, even though the Endangered Species Act requires it â€” northern bog turtles, Florida Key deer, salt marsh harvest mice, Santa Cruz long-toed salamanders, and mountain sweet pitcher plants are just a few who desperately need their wetland homes protected.Ã‚Â

This video highlights just a few of the species who need more protected critical habitat. Take action for giant garter snakes, mountain lions, and more: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species.

About the Center:

The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature â€” to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.

We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.
