Insight into the illegal wildlife trade through publicly available non-scientific sources
Original language description
The illegal wildlife trade is the fourth most lucrative illegal trade, after arms, humans, and drugs. The risks of this type of trade are many, not least the introduction of invasive species into non-native habitats or the emergence of new diseases that can be deadly. However, the most significant risk is the loss of biodiversity in nature and the loss of irreplaceable species. Therefore, recent information and data must be collected to inform the public and mitigate illegal trade. This study examines the extent and content of public information on illegal online and physical wildlife trade through publicly available media. A quantitative content analysis of publicly available articles from selected news servers with a global reach over the last decade is used for the actual study. Preliminary results indicate an uneven relationship between the type of products offered and the reporting of conservation measures in the above-mentioned kinds of trade. The results will then be complemented by a content analysis of published reports on illegal trade in animals by governmental and non-governmental organizations, followed by an analysis of actual search queries on the internet using Google Trends.
