Life is tough enough in the ocean without having to deal with plastic bags and fishing hooks.
It’s very often we hear how our exploitation of the ocean harms the creatures within it. Oftentimes, it’s images of distressed dolphins and sea turtles that come to mind, but the ocean is part of the grand ecosystem, and what harms the ocean’s creatures is bound to harm non-marine life in time.

The illegal wildlife trade is estimated to be worth between $7 billion and $23 billion annually a survey report conducted by globeScan has revealed.
The report found out that 71% of participants had consumed bushmeat at some point in their lives, and 45% had consumed it in 2020.
It further explained that COVID-19 was of concern to 27% of consumer who said they stopped buying bushmeat, in a country that was previously impacted by Ebola outbreak.
According to the survey, “While bushmeat is an important part of rural food security, rapid urbanisation has caused a soaring urban demand for bushmeat, despite widely available and affordable alternative protein sources. More than 50% who had consumed bushmeat within the last year cited taste as the main reason, while 30% said it was part of their culture, and 25% said that it is healthier and fresher than regular meat and fish.”
