summary of at least one of the Research Sources:


Animal Trafficking - A Cruel Billion-Dollar Business
The jungles of Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil,Nicaragua and other fragile ecosystems of Central America, Mexico, Argentina and Paraguay, have become the main sources of wild species trafficking to the European Union, the world's leading destination for reptile skins, parrots, and boa and python snakes, and the second for monkeys Africa and Asia are also major suppliers of wild plant and animal species for the global market

Wildlife smuggling or trafficking involves the illegal gathering, transportation, and distribution of animals and their derivatives. This can be done either internationally or domestically. Interpol estimates that wildlife smuggling transactions generate between 10–20 billion US dollars annually.
Products demanded by the trade include exotic pets, food, traditional medicine, clothing, and jewelry made from animals' tusks, fins, skins, shells, horns, and internal organs. Smuggled wildlife is an increasing global demand: it is estimated that the US, China, and the European Union are the places with the highest demand. It is believe that up to 40,000 monkeys are killed and eventually consumed each year in Africa alone via smuggling

Ilgal Traffic of Animals

Prupose
We choose these topic because we are also involved. Animals are living things and they feel also they are abused in many ways, they use in for fashion, jewelry, Asian medisine and crafts and many more thing. As well we love animals and we think that this is important for all becouse it could damage all the world.                          
Research Question

1.How well do humans
share the planet with other
species?

2.Are certain species
more important than others?

3.Should humans be permitted
to ‘use’ other species to
make human life easier/
better?

4.What are the laws in my
country relating to humans
and other species?

5.Do  people in my country show
respect to animals and other
creatures?

Hipotesis

We think that people do this for money mostly becouse they didnt had any education or they just dont care. What might be causing is the extinction of many animal and the  damage of the enviroment.  South America could have the most ilegal traffic becouse of it rare fauna and flora. Some species have been extinted or in the process of extintion like the white tiger, red panda and many more animals. We can stop them by more security and more animal and fauna reserves where they cant be kidnap or hunted.
