The Fight against Wildlife Crime - Enforcement v. Corruption -

摘要

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) identifies five major drivers of biodiversity loss: Habitat loss and degradation; Introductions of invasive alien species; Over-exploitation of natural resources, i.e., resource extraction, hunting and fishing for food, the pet trade, and medicine; Pollution and diseases; and Human-induced climate change. Habitat loss or degradation, and the damage caused by invasive alien species, are both especially pervasive and indiscriminate in their effects. However, the severity of over-exploitation as a threat depends on the species being exploited and the value that is placed on it by consumers.
