Stop Illegal Trade
Illegal wildlife trade drives poaching and threatens the survival of iconic wild species. This not only throws nature off balance but also increases the transmission risk of zoonotic diseases among humans.
The demand for certain species as exotic pets, for food consumption, clothing, black magic and their perceived medicinal value has made it the fourth largest illegal trade globally. But we are fighting back.
You can help us put an end to this organised crime—with technology, tools and training.
The Wide Net of Illegal Wildlife Trade:
Up to 450 snow leopards killed every year around the world
700,000 birds trapped illegally in India every year
Nearly 1 million pangolins trafficked in the last decade globally
1 million seahorses caught annually for aquariums
Over 2,350 tigers seized in 2000-18 across 32 countries & territories
Over 1 lakh tortoises & turtles illegally traded in India in 2009-19
