Hannah Jones+FollowIs Facebook Failing Wildlife Security?Just read about a BBC investigation uncovering rampant illegal wildlife sales on Facebook—think shark fins, tiger bones, and even dried seahorses, all just a DM away. With organized crime exploiting social platforms, is Facebook doing enough to protect endangered species and police its own marketplace? Should tech giants be held accountable for real-world ecological harm, or is this a policy problem beyond their reach? Let’s debate. #Tech #WildlifeCrime #TechResponsibility10Share
kellydesiree+FollowSnowmobilers Cross the Line—Help Catch Them!Some snowmobilers in Saskatchewan did the unthinkable: they chased down and ran over four coyotes, leaving two dead and two so badly hurt they had to be put down. Conservation officers are on the hunt for whoever did this, and there’s a $2,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest. If you know anything, now’s the time to speak up—let’s not let a few jerks ruin snowmobiling for everyone. #Pets #WildlifeCrime #Snowmobiling123Share
Vincent Perry+FollowLemur Meat: The Pricey Secret on the MenuDid you know some folks in Madagascar are still splurging on lemur meat, even though these cute critters are nearly extinct? It’s like ordering the rarest dish at a secret supper club—except it’s pushing lemurs closer to disappearing forever. The real twist? Most of the trade is hush-hush, with only the wealthiest diners getting a taste. If you care about forests (and future foodie options), this is one trend to say no to. #Business #Industry #wildlifecrime00Share
kellydesiree+FollowTiger Trafficking Is Worse Than EverJust when you thought tiger trafficking was under control, a new 25-year report says it’s actually getting worse. Whole tigers—dead and alive—are being seized more than ever, with 2023 seeing a record number of busts. Experts are calling this a wake-up call: criminal networks are thriving, and current protections aren’t enough. With only about 5,500 tigers left in the wild, this illegal trade is pushing them closer to extinction. We’re way past the point of ignoring this crisis. #Pets #TigerTrafficking #WildlifeCrime41Share

All rhinos are protected, but illegal wildlife trade is still a huge problem. Would you have guessed what was in that box? #News #WildlifeCrime #RhinoRescue70Share
