"Though the rangers’ work is difficult and dangerous, it’s poorly paid. They work for the equivalent of $50 a month, and sometimes go three or even six months without pay, when tourist numbers are low"

A sobering fact this #WorldAnimalDay: more than 38 500 species are threatened with extinction. The race to save species is more urgent than ever. Habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade are amongst the main reasons for the rapid decline of most species. 🐾‼️

After an ENV volunteer alerted us to a restaurant in #Hanoi #Vietnam selling #pangolin, police seized 3 live and 14 frozen #pangolins. Then we worked with the court to secure prison time: 11 yrs for the restaurants owner, 5.5 yrs for the chef, and the 3 yrs for the supplier

Okapi skin seized and one trafficker arrested near Kindu. This is probably from the Lomami national park. Let's remind you that Okapi is endemic to the DRC but now it's being killed for its meat, hide and fat. @okapiproject @Evebazaiba @IFAW @FaunaFloraInt @PoachingPrevent

In a 2013 @TRAFFIC_WLTrade report, the maximum weight for dried Tokay geckos was 58 grams. Assuming few of them would be heavier than that, it seems very likely more than 24,100 individual Tokay geckos were in this shipment. traffic.org/site/assets/file…
