The Extinction Market

Wildlife Trafficking and How to Counter It

Vanda Felbab-Brown



Poaching and trafficking in wildlife are rife, yet no consensus exists about how to combat them. This book provides a global perspective on these twin scourges, and draws out real policy-oriented solutions.

Description
The planet is experiencing alarming levels of species loss caused in large part by intensified poaching and wildlife trafficking driven by expanding demand, for medicines, for food, and for trophies. Affecting many more species than just the iconic elephants, rhinos, and tigers, the rate of extinction is now as much as 1000 times the historical average and the worst since the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. In addition to causing irretrievable biodiversity loss, wildlife trafficking also poses serious threats to public health, potentially triggering a global pandemic.
The Extinction Market explores the causes, means, and consequences of poaching and wildlife trafficking, with a view to finding ways of suppressing them. Vanda Felbab-Brown travelled to the markets of Latin America, South and South East Asia, and eastern and southern Africa, to evaluate the effectiveness of various tools, including bans on legal trade, law enforcement, and interdiction; allowing legal supply from hunting or farming; alternative livelihoods; anti- money-laundering efforts; and demand reduction strategies.
This is an urgent book offering meaningful solutions to one of the world’s most pressing crises.

Interessant für jagdlich relevante Arten, den Hauptfaktoren für das Aussterben von Arten wird man hier aber nicht begegnen-> Ignoranz, Gleichgültigkeit, Unwissenheit, Unkenntnis.
