End is near for South Africa s million-dollar lion-breeding industry

In South Africa, the world’s largest exporter of lion trophies, the animals are raised in captivity and kept in enclosures for ‘canned hunting’. Activists have long called for the practice to be banned, saying it is unethical and has nothing to do with real hunting.

Reptile traffickers trawl scientific literature, target newly described species

Reptile traffickers trawl scientific literature, target newly described species by Pavel Toropov on 26 May 2021 The descriptions and locations of new reptile species featured in scientific literature are frequently being used by traders to quickly hunt down, capture and sell these animals, allowing them to be monetized for handsome profits and threatening biodiversity. New reptile species are highly valued by collectors due to their novelty, and often appear on trade websites and at trade fairs within months after their first description in scientific journals. In the past 20 years, the Internet, combined with the ease and affordability of global travel, have made the problem of reptile trafficking rampant. Some taxonomists now call for restricted access to location information for the most in demand taxa such as geckos, turtles and pythons.

While scientists, NGOs, and the EU’s environmental authorities agree that a mako shark retention ban is needed, the EU’s Directorate-General for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs (DG MARE) is still pushing for a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) quota of 500 tonnes for mako sharks in the North Atlantic.

German trophy hunters-the third in the world rankings

German trophy hunters shoot hundreds of wild animals of endangered species German big game hunters kill polar bears, lions, or giraffes and bring the skins, teeth, and other parts home as a trophy. In the past year, 2020, amateur hunters from Germany brought home hundreds of animals listed in the Washington Convention on Endangered Species as trophies. They imported 543 hunting trophies from Africa, Canada, Argentina, the USA, Namibia, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Russia, and Mongolia, according to a response from the Federal Environment Ministry to a request from Green MP Steffi Lemke. “It is completely absurd, while more and more animal species are facing extinction, parts of protected animals are still being brought to Germany as hunting trophies – quite legally,” said
