Widlife Trade
The illegal wildlife trade is a major threat for many species. Almost all animals are traded, and amongst those LFP researches include birds (including owls and the impact of Harry Potter on their trade), reptiles, molluscs and mammals including slow lorises. Wildlife trade involves both live and dead specimens, and also includes products made from wild plants. This traffic of thousand of species has reached unprecedented scales, and represents more than 20 billion USD per year. Monitoring the illegal wildlife trade is a complex but necessary task.
