Worth up to $20 billion a year the illegal wildlife trade is big business. Illegal trafficking of plants and animals is reducing wildlife populations, some to the verge of extinction. Traded for pets, trophies, clothing, furniture, food and medicines, the result of the trade to supply burgeoning demand for these products is shocking.

"To my view the Environmental Justice Foundation is pretty much unique in bringing people and environment together. We will never conserve and nurture our environment including the diversity of its wildlife if we ignore the need of the people who have to live and work in these areas."
