But with domestic and international travel restrictions imposed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the daily toll in 2020 fell to around one. However, a subsequent lockdown easing has given rise to \u201cserious numbers\u201d of rhino poaching incidents, according to WWF.<\/p>\n<p>Carcases of rhinos left by poachers to bleed to death are unfortunately just one of the most visible images of the global illegal trafficking in wildlife \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifejustice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Crime-Convergence-Report-Executive-summary-2021.pdf\">a multi-billion dollar industry<\/a> often run by transnational syndicates, sometimes alongside trafficking in drugs, arms and people.<\/p>\n<p>From the seas to the skies, the industrial-scale killing of animals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traffic.org\/what-we-do\/species\/timber\/\">illegal logging of timber<\/a> and the plundering of rare plants are driving many species to extinction.<\/p>\n<p>Tigers \u2013 their bones and other body parts used in traditional medicine \u2014 are among the most threatened victims, with 97 percent of the wild tiger population estimated to have disappeared over the past century. Cheetahs are vanishing because of the demand for pets.<\/p>\n<p>A quarter of shark species are now facing extinction, mostly due to illegal and unsustainable fishing. All seven remaining species of sea turtles are at risk. New species of orchids \u2013 there are about 28,000 known to science \u2013 have disappeared to collectors and thus become extinct in the wild before they are even recorded. Millions of birds are traded illegally each year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iucnredlist.org\/search?redListCategory=ex\">The list goes on and on<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The most trafficked mammal on earth is the pangolin, a scaly ant-eating creature. More than a million are estimated to have been poached from the wild in the last decade for their meat, skin and scales. All eight species are deemed at risk of extinction.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_172522\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 654px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/submission.icrowdmarketing.com\/assets\/source\/users\/195\/iucn-pix-2-pangolin-472x472.jpg?1628262128717\" alt=\"iucn-pix-2-pangolin-472x472\" width=\"654\" height=\"654\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>All eight species of pangolin, four in Asia and four in Africa, are threatened with extinction, mostly because of illegal poaching and trafficking.

Bats and pangolins are the focus of research into the evolutionary path of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the Covid-19 disease. A recent study by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crick.ac.uk\/news\/2021-02-05_pangolin-coronavirus-could-jump-to-humans\">Francis Crick Institute<\/a> showed that SARS-CoV-2 could in theory have moved to humans from pangolins, after originating in a currently unknown bat coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unodc.org\/documents\/data-and-analysis\/wildlife\/2020\/World_Wildlife_Report_2020_9July.pdf\">Three-quarters of all emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic<\/a>, transferred from animals to humans, facilitated by environmental destruction and wildlife crime.<\/p>\n<p>These findings only further underscore efforts by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iucn.org\/\">International Union for Conservation of Nature<\/a> to shape humanity\u2019s response to the planet\u2019s conservation crises. The IUCN World Conservation Congress, initially delayed by the pandemic and now to be held from 3-11 September in Marseille, is the world\u2019s leading conservation event where government, civil society and indigenous peoples\u2019 organisations will join discussions, debate and vote on motions that will set priorities and drive conservation and sustainable development action.<\/p>\n<p>Two key motions tackle illegal wildlife trafficking: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iucncongress2020.org\/motion\/050\">Motion 50<\/a> on implementing international efforts to tackle the role of cybercrime, the internet and social media in enabling traffickers, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iucncongress2020.org\/motion\/065\">Motion 65<\/a> on engaging the private sector to combat wildlife trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Louies, a specialist in wildlife crime prevention with the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), a co-sponsor of Motion 50, says governments must make the illegal wildlife trade a top priority and set out clear guidelines on wildlife cybercrime. IT companies must also set policies to stop, control and monitor traffickers using their platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Louies told IPS that WTI\u2019s covert agents had been following pangolin traders online in recent months, connecting with suppliers and buyers from several countries.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_172523\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 625px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/submission.icrowdmarketing.com\/assets\/source\/users\/195\/IUCN-pix-3-pangolin-scales-629x417.jpg?1628262215977\" alt=\"IUCN-pix-3-pangolin-scales-629x417\" width=\"625\" height=\"415\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Pangolin scales sold illegally through the internet by wildlife traffickers.

Such fluidic and organic systems will enable a network to regenerate quicker than a conventional network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WTI sees IUCN as the leading global body to make recommendations and influence policies, regardless of political borders, and to act as an enabler for global conservation policies and practices. \u201cConservation is not an exclusive job of conservationists \u2013 it\u2019s the collective efforts of everyone,\u201d says Louies.<\/p>\n<p>Among the various elements of Motion 50, IUCN members call on governments to strengthen legislation to tackle cyber-enabled wildlife trafficking; collaborate more in cross-border investigations; encourage and protect whistle-blowers; and encourage technology companies to step up efforts to stop online trafficking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_172524\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 568px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/submission.icrowdmarketing.com\/assets\/source\/users\/195\/IUCN-pix-4-Hatha-Jodi-629x417.jpg?1628262253435\" alt=\"IUCN-pix-4-Hatha-Jodi-629x417\" width=\"568\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Known as Hatha Jodi, these dried penises of the monitor lizard were sold illegally by traffickers online.

Purchasing elephant ivory, tiger cubs, and pangolin scales is as easy as click, pay, ship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But despite such coordinated efforts, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interpol.int\/en\/Crimes\/Cybercrime\/Cyber-capabilities-development\/Glacy\">GLACY+ involving Interpol<\/a>, trafficking is getting even bigger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Africa, cybercrime is escalating on many platforms via the internet,\u201d says Philip Muruthi, vice president of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awf.org\/\">African Wildlife Foundation<\/a>, also a co-sponsor of Motion 50. \u201cYou just need to do a Google search and you will find someone trying to sell some wildlife product or wildlife\u2026 but the capacity to deal with wildlife cybercrime is very low across the board. This is something that we have noted across Africa \u2013 a growing silent problem \u2013 for which we have limited knowledge and capacity to turn around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AWF has a program to train and equip law enforcement officers to combat wildlife cybercrime, starting in Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, but governments and other players could do much more, Muruthi tells IPS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is agreed at these IUCN World Conservation Congresses often results in enhanced collective action. The issue of wildlife cybercrime may be elusive at a glance but deep analyses reveals it warrants local, regional and global attention,\u201d Muruthi adds.<\/p>\n<p>Stressing the importance of its unique structure spanning governments, NGOs, the private sector, individuals and indigenous peoples, AWF also benefits from being able to access more potential collaborators and span disciplines and themes.<\/p>\n<p>Steven Galster, chair of Freeland which describes itself as a \u201clean, frontline international NGO with a team of law enforcement, development and communications specialists\u201d fighting wildlife trafficking and human slavery, says traffickers are winning an unequal battle. Richer countries are not backing up their political promises with action, he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of IUCN. It\u2019s an important body,\u201d Galster tells IPS, praising IUCN\u2019s Asia team. But he urges IUCN to shift priorities.<\/p>\n<p>More broadly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeland.org\/\">Freeland<\/a>, a co-sponsor of Motion 065, is calling on IUCN to go further and push for a global suspension of commercial trade in wild animals as a matter of urgency to save biodiversity and avoid another pandemic, rather than just trying to stamp out illegal wildlife trade as defined by CITES conventions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLegal trade also carries virus transmission risks. There remains so much unknown about the many viruses out there, and how they may mutate, that we should not be confining our containment to only some species of families of animals,\u201d Galster says. \u201dThe precautionary principle should be pushed harder than ever in wake of Covid-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">Tags: <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/tag\/373164\/\" rel=\"tag\">\u00a0<\/a> <\/p>\n<div><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/menafn\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Menafn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/content-marketing\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Content Marketing<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/ips\/\" rel=\"category tag\">IPS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/reportedtimes\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Reportedtimes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/financial-content\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Financial Content<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/pr-wirein\/\" rel=\"category tag\">PR-Wirein<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/icn-internal-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">iCN Internal Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/extended-distribution\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Extended Distribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\/wildlife-trafficking-to-come-under-fire-at-iucn-congress\/\">Wildlife Trafficking to Come under Fire at IUCN Congress<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\">Financial Market Brief<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Guy Dinmore The killing of rhinos by poachers has risen sharply since South Africa started easing COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
