Today is #WorldPangolinDay! Did you know pangolins are one of the world’s most trafficked mammals? That’s why @Microsoft and WWF teamed up during Microsoft’s Global Hackathon to find solutions to address illegal wildlife sales online.

So much has changed so quickly. And if any of you are confused or scared or angry—or just plain overwhelmed—I just want you to know that you aren’t alone. I am feeling all that, too. And I have a few things I want to say about it. youtube.com/watch?v=VXDTmAYs…
Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay. Just as we are all united by our reliance on—and love of—the natural world, so are we united by our common humanity. Thank you for all you do to create a world where people and nature can thrive together.

There is a great difference between well regulated/legal intl trade of wild species & unregulated/illegal wildlife trade
Well regulated, legal trade can help secure the conservation of wildlife habitats & avoid land conversion and destruction of ecosystems that can drive zoonosis
Why a blanket ban on wildlife trade would not be the right response to #COVID19
New @ConversationUK article by @DanChallender @orchiddelirium @verissimodiogo & @tSasRolfes
'..blanket bans are unlikely to benefit people or wildlife, and are unfeasible' buff.ly/3bZzxfp
The sky is off-limits to wildlife trafficking! blog.aci.aero/countering-wil… via @ACIWorld @ROUTESPartners ✈️🐅#endwildlifetrafficking
We must close high-risk wildlife markets to prevent zoonotic disease outbreaks like #COVID19!
93% of people surveyed in Hong Kong SAR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam would support efforts by their governments and health ministries to close all illegal and unregulated markets selling wild animals. #COVID19 #Coronavirus wwf.to/3bSFJWz
