Wildlife crime is a substantial industry ran by malicious international networks. Animal anatomy are trafficked in a similar fashion to drugs and weapons. Some claim its purpose are medicinal but that has since been invalidated. The project is set out to address the illegal wildlife trade on rhinos and elephants. Although there are countless other species that are similarly overexploited, from marine turtles or tigers, my focus was on the most endangered animals. Eliminating wildlife crimes should be a priority as it is a major threat to the world's most threatened species, second only to environmental destruction.
