Illegal Animal Traffickers (A True Book: The New Criminals)

Animals in the wild can be in constant danger.

Many protected wild animals fetch a high price on the black market, whether because their body parts are desirable resources for making clothing and other products or because people want to keep them as pets. Readers will learn how criminals called animal traffickers obtain these species and transport them around the world, evading law enforcement organizations along the way. They will also find out how animal trafficking harms the environment and what people are doing to fight it.
