The illicit trade in wildlife and wildlife parts is now a multi-billion industry decimating iconic animal populations, undermining security
across nations, and threatening ecosystems, food security, human health, and livelihoods among the
world's
poorest communities.
Across the
world, over 200 million working animals do the jobs of trucks, tractors and taxis, supporting the livelihoods of some of the
poorest communities in the developing
world.
