Facebook: shut down wildlife trafficking!
Every day, endangered animals are stolen from the wild, trafficked across borders, and sold online for profit. A shocking new investigation has revealed that more than 250,000 wild animals and wildlife products were listed for sale online over the past two years — and Facebook accounted for approximately 75% of those listings. Among the species being traded were pangolins, sea turtles, clouded leopards, primates, reptiles, and countless other animals protected under international law. Facebook's own policies prohibit wildlife trafficking. Yet the trade continues to flourish on its platform. And according to researchers, Facebook's recommendation systems may actually be helping users find even more wildlife trafficking content. We believe Facebook must be held accountable. Sign the petition and tell Facebook to shut down wildlife trafficking on its platform.
