Wild Life Trafficking

Trafficking is a kind of smuggling with a long history all over the world. Like other transactions, the form of trafficking is different from market demands. Examples of trafficking and smuggling are drugs, weapons, alcohol, tobacco, women, children, and all kinds of wildlife (animals and plants). Trafficking in wildlife is a serious threat to the environment. For example, animals are often stolen from natural habitats and sold in the black market with huge amounts. Removing animals and plants from natural habitats may affect ecosystems, destroy the food chain and put them in danger of extinction (FREELAND, 2010).

Wildlife trafficking poses a serious threat to public health, in addition to unrecoverable loss of biodiversity and economic loss due to ecological deterioration. Diseases related to wildlife trafficking and consumption of wildlife include SARS and Ebola virus. Therefore trafficking in wildlife could trigger a global epidemic. In this serious crisis, trafficking in wildlife has attracted more policy attention than ever. The United Nations Security Council discussed ways to stop wildlife trafficking and the goal of eliminating this problem was incorporated into the UN's sustainable development goals. Trafficking in wildlife is also an important theme in negotiations on the Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement.

The term "cultural agriculture" was first created in the 1970s. Narcotic culture defines lifestyle and ideas of drug traffickers. Its existence relies on the acceptance of drug traffickers and drug trafficking, and it is an international network of illegal narcotics production, transportation and commercialization. Drug trafficking has political, economic, ideological and cultural influences. Drug traffickers interact with other people in society, and through daily exchanges, the habits of some drug traffickers are accepted by society, which has led to changes in culture and legalization. Life and culture of drug traffickers are legal in society. People other than drug trafficking have adopted certain aspects, and over time people have forgotten that they are using anesthesia culture. When Nazi culture began to include popular courses in the city, it began the process of legalization.
