Do you know what wildlife crime is?
It
is the capture or killing of protected wildlife. From capturing a
wild parrot in Brazil to be sold as a pet, to killing an African
rhinoceros for its horn—from hunting an African elephant for a
trophy on a wall to netting endangered leatherback sea turtles for
meat—poaching is a worldwide problem.
Today
we are urged to take a wildlife pledge
and join in the fight against wildlife crimes.What do you think of decorating a house with big-game trophies such as the heads and tusks seen here?
