4,000 species from around the world

the animals targeted are on the red list

found that the trade, driven by demand for medicine,
pets and trophies, is active in over 80% of countries.

ability to fight climate change, Ghada Waly, Executive director of UNODC, via 'The Guardian'.
Researchers warn that wildlife crime is often
linked to organized crime, with corruption playing a critical role in impeding efforts to stop trafficking. .

take the form of bribes paid to inspectors and
government officials in exchange for fake permits.
