Wildlife-trafficking

Wildlife trafficking involves capturing, transporting, and selling endangered or protected species and their parts, such as ivory, rhino horn, pangolins, big cats, and exotic birds. The illegal wildlife trade (IWT), valued at $7-23 billion annually, poses one of the most urgent threats to African wildlife^[1]. Wildlife trafficking has severe consequences for Africa's biodiversity and ecosystems. It can lead to species depletion, disrupt ecosystems, and contribute to biodiversity loss. Additionally, it often involves organized criminal networks, which can have broader negative impacts on security and governance in affected regions.
