Illegal wildlife trade refers to the unlawful buying and selling of animals and plants, often threatening their survival. This trade includes endangered species like tigers, rhinos, and elephants, whose parts are sought after for traditional medicine, luxury items, or as pets. The illegal wildlife trade is a global issue, driven by high demand and profit. It not only harms biodiversity but also disrupts ecosystems and can lead to the extinction of species. Efforts to combat this trade involve stricter laws, international cooperation, and raising public awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation.
