ANIMAL TRAFFICKING: A CRUEL BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS

At least 110,000exotic birds, most from Latin America, brighten the homes of Italian families with their songs and
colors. They are the few survivors of the cruel and lucrative business of International trafficking in wild animals. In
Italy and throughout the rest of Europe, lizards, turtles, and small monkeys are sold as pets, and crafts are made from
turtle shells, whale barbs and the feathers of multicolored birds. The jungles of Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil,
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.

Although legal trade in wildlife is regulated by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora ( CITES ), an estimated one- third of the global sales of 25 billion dollars a year is illegal _an illicit
business surpassed only arms and drug trafficking. “There is enormous demand for wild species in Europe .

“The market varies according to the fashion and customs of each country. Italy loves and cares for birds, and has
always been involved in that trade, as have Spain, The Netherlands and Belgium ”,Massimiliano Rocco, director of
watchdog group Traffic International in Italy, said.
