Description
The Extinction Market: Wildlife Trafficking and how to Counter it by Vanda Felbab-Brown The planet is facing an alarming rate of species loss, driven in part by intensified poaching and wildlife trafficking. This phenomenon affects many more species than just iconic ones like elephants, rhinos, and tigers, with the current rate of extinction being as much as 1000 times the historical average. Vanda Felbab-Brown travelled to various markets around the world, including Latin America, South and South East Asia, and eastern and southern Africa, to evaluate the effectiveness of tools aimed at suppressing poaching and wildlife trafficking. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the causes, means, and consequences of these crimes, with a focus on finding meaningful solutions. By examining various approaches such as bans on legal trade, law enforcement, alternative livelihoods, anti-money-laundering efforts, and demand reduction strategies, Felbab-Brown provides an urgent analysis of one of the world's most pressing crises.
