The global illegal wildlife trade is worth somewhere between 7 and 23 billion dollars making it the 4th largest illegal trade in the world. This dark underbelly of wildlife trade is particularly dangerous to vulnerable species whose population is low.

In this video, we want to explore some of the context around the illegal wildlife trade and in this series we will attempt to tell you the stories of the 5 most trafficked species, why they are trafficked.
