Time to halt the trade and traffic of wildlife.

It’s World Environment Day 2016, and the focus is on wildlife trade.  Coupled with habitat loss and destruction, the wildlife trade is stripping what habitat is left of all kinds of species.  This insideous crime is pushing species to the edge and needs a Global commitment to halt it. Everything from invertebrates through to birds, frogs, reptiles and mammals are being taken from the wild and distributed around the world for relatively small amouts of money to the people doing the catching.  At the heart of the trade are criminal gangs moving species around with corruption obvously involved to let them get away with it.

The sad issue here is that the trade is driven by demand.  There would be no point of increasing supply if no one wanted it. The pressure, therefore, not only needs to be on enforcement to halt the crimes in the first place, but to change the attitudes of those who will buy the products.

Today is World Environment Day!

This year’s theme, “Zero tolerance for the illegal trade in wildlife”, hits close to home for the Environment and Culture unit of our peacekeeping mission in Mali (MINUSMA). They support counter poaching initiatives in the vulnerable Gourma area of Mali and one of the animals they help protect are elephants.  In 2015 more than 80 elephants were killed for their tusks. According to a recent census there are only between 256-306 elephants remaining in the country.

MINUSMA supports the Malian authorities and the NGO WILD Foundation to help local communities and wildlife rangers counter illegal poaching in the vulnerable Gourma area.

About the photo:

This beautiful photo of a heard of elephants was taken by one of our colleagues, Sophie Ravier, who works in the MINUSMA Environment and Culture unit, on 28 April 2016.  This photo was taken in the Inani Forest, in the north of Mali during a mission to support a project for community security and counter-poaching in the Gourma area. It was there that MINUSMA installed two microwave repeater sites on mountains to improve communication capacities of wildlife rangers in the area. #WED2016 #Peacekeeping

Together, let’s make it our mission to help end the illegal trade in wildlife to bring species back from the brink and preserve our precious planet for the benefit of people and planet. The world signed up to new goals that commit us to take urgent action to end poaching of protected species. Together, we can be part of the success of Goal 15.

Find your kindred species, learn more, and share to start this journey!

Saving wildlife and wilderness is the responsibility of all thinking people. Greed and personal gain must not be permitted to decimate, despoil and destroy the earth's irreplaceable treasure for its existence is essential to the human spirit and the well-being of the earth as a whole. All life has just one home — the earth — and we as the dominant species must take care of it. #WorldEnvironmentDay #WED2016 #WildLife2016 (at Lagos, Nigeria)

Illegal wildlife trading threatens the survival of many species while posing detrimental environmental risks. On World Environment Day this year on 5 June, the United Nations is urging everyone to "Go Wild for Life" by opening our eyes to species under threat and making a difference by showing zero-tolerance for the illegal wildlife trade. In honor of this campaign, we're shedding light on parrot trafficking in Brazil and investigating how DNA sequence analysis can be a powerful conservation tool in the future.
