Orion Cruz, our International Associate, breaks down what wildlife trafficking is, the threats it poses to biodiversity, and what Defenders is doing to be part of the solution. Learn more: https://dfnd.us/internationalspecies Video Transcript: Why should you care about wildlife trafficking? Wildlife trafficking includes the poaching and other taking of wildlife in contravention of the law, and the illegal trade in wildlife and the related parts or products. It's highly profitable and estimated to be the fourth largest type of illegal trade after drugs, weapons and human trafficking. Think rare lizards, snakes and birds for pets. Jaguar fangs for jewelry, shark fins for soup and furs for fashion and trophies. So why does wildlife trafficking occur? Well, it all comes down to consumer demand. Since poaching to satisfy consumer demand can lead a species to become endangered, and because rare species tend to sell for more, traffickers are usually targeting the species that are most in need of protection. As a result of this pressure, many species are being pushed to the brink of extinction, making demand for wildlife a primary driver of the biodiversity crisis. The trafficking of live animals is just as horrific. Animals are often shipped inhumanely, crammed into tiny containers with limited food, water and air. In one study, researchers found that roughly 75 percent of parrots illegally shipped from Mexico died in transit. Wildlife trafficking poses a serious threat to global biodiversity. By increasing the chances that new diseases will spread from animals to humans, it also threatens human health. Unfortunately, data from seizures indicates the problem is only getting worse. To end wildlife trafficking, we must reduce the supply of and demand for wildlife, work with transit countries to eliminate trade channels and prioritize the conservation of wildlife globally. As part of the solution, Defenders of Wildlife is engaging in public education campaigns in trafficking hotspots like Mexico, partnering with countries around the world to strengthen wildlife trafficking laws and improve the implementation of international obligations and advocating for the protection of imperiled species and human health at forums like the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, also known as CITES, and the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Naturalist, artist, and explorer Roseann Hanson shares the history of human exploration and curiosity expressed in field sketching and journaling, from the stone age to today, and why it’s still an essential activity. In this age of digital dominance in our communications, she will build a case as to why we cannot lose the analog activity of observation, drawing, and writing (by hand!) about the natural world is the key to connecting more people to science and nature conservation, as well as a path to personal well-being. ✿Website: https://naturalhistoryinstitute.org/ ✿Events: https://naturalhistoryinstitute.org/e... ✿Donate: https://naturalhistoryinstitute.org/d... ✿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naturalhistoryinstitute/ ✿Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NaturalHistoryInstitute/ Roseann Hanson is a naturalist, artist, and explorer who has been keeping science-based nature and field notes journals for 40 years.

Exposure to high heat temperatures is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the U.S.: a disproportionate share of those, are of people of color. In this talk, Ludovica Martella explains how extreme heat temperatures intensify racial and gender disparities in health and social rights. She presents an urban and a rural perspective on the issue by sharing the testimonies of two local activists: Pia Palomino and Guadalupe de la Cruz. A researcher and reporter committed to promoting climate justice and gender equality in climate resilient communities. She is a graduate of The CLEO Institute's Speakers Network Program, an organizer of the Miami Climate Summit and has executed research projects for the United Nations Women and Development Programs.

Power transmission lines damaging sacred sites and San Pedro River
Green energy can’t come at the cost of biodiversity loss or the desecration of Indigenous cultures. February 2024 was a big month for defending that position in Arizona, where the Center began.
Green energy can’t come at the cost of biodiversity loss or the desecration of Indigenous cultures. February 2024 was a big month for defending that position in Arizona, where the Center began. First we filed an injunction, alongside the Tohono O’odham Nation and San Carlos Apache Tribe, to stop construction of wind-power transmission lines that are damaging sacred sites and harming the fragile San Pedro River, as captured in this video. More in this effort here: https://twitter.com/PeccaryNotPig/status/1758595502864826414 And here: https://www.enr.com/articles/58188-11b-sunzia-power-project-suit-has-march-7-federal-court-hearing We also won a major victory with Navajo allies — and help from 7,000 supporters — against multiple proposed hydropower projects in Black Mesa. The projects would have depleted aquifers, destroyed prehistoric sites, and harmed Mexican spotted owl habitat, worsening problems caused by decades of coal extraction. This win also establishes new nationwide policy giving Tribes veto power over permits targeting their land. More on that victory here: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/17022024/feds-deny-permits-for-hydro-projects-on-navajo-land/ “Without consent from local communities and wildlife advocates, industrial energy plans are just greenwashing,” said the Center’s Russ McSpadden. This video was featured in our Endangered Earth newsletter, issue 1,234 (Feb. 29, 2024): https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/publications/earthonline/endangered-earth-online-no1234.html ----- About the Center: The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.
