Wildlife trade sells twice as many species as thought, report finds
Original: Twice as many plants and animals sold in wildlife trade as previously thought, says report https://www. theguardian.com/
A new report finds roughly twice as many plant and animal species are being traded commercially than previously estimated, according to coverage by the Guardian. The findings suggest the scale of the global wildlife trade, both legal and illegal, has been significantly undercounted, prompting concern among conservationists and animal welfare campaigners about the pressure this places on wild populations.
Why now: A newly published report dramatically revises upward the estimated number of species in the wildlife trade, raising fresh conservation concerns.
