I had no idea — thanks for the info on the global wildlife trade...Liz - AOW / Teacher March 11, 2008 at 21:46:00The sums — $300 billion annually
— are staggering. I really had no idea. Of course we are all aware of the problem with timber harvesting and crashing edible ocean species, but again, I was shocked to learn that they account for over 90 percent of the global wildlife trade. I am going to use this information in my lesson plans. Does anyone know how much money is involved in illegal trading of wildlife? |
