And it becomes more problematic as people can access it easily and drive them to reenact the behavior due to this FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Then just boost the economical motive in #illegalwildlifetrade and following the series of cruelty that happened during the process. Of course, what already happened to nature, the #wildlife habitat, in the first place is already described as the beginning of the cruelty. And those series of events are forming this cycle of cruelty

Hi all. Time for an #introduction. I'm an ex-journalist (although, there will always be ink in my veins), now working as Director for East and Southern Africa at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime. More here: https://globalinitiative.net/observatory/esa_obs/. Previously I was at TRAFFIC, the international wildlife trade monitoring network and Africa Check, the continent's first political fact-checking website. I'm the author of the book "Killing for Profit". #OrganisedCrime #IllegalWildlifeTrade
