The trade of jaguar body parts is growing across Latin America, particularly in Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru and Suriname. The main driver is the illegal trade in jaguar teeth for the Chinese market, but Mongabay.com reports that commercialized ayahuasca tourism may be a significant contributor as well. Ayahuasca is a psychoactive brew, made from the ayahuasca vine and chakruna leaves, used for spiritual and physical healing in shamanic ceremonies, but has also become popular among visiting tourists. Jaguar canine pendants, skin bracelets and other products are being sold to tourists under the pretense that they somehow enhance the ayahuasca experience.

Few things stoke the fires of emotion like the idea of endangered species dying unnecessarily. The African lion, one of the most iconic species on the planet, has become a symbol of conservation worldwide. But while Disney’s The Lion King personalizes an anthropomorphic view of animals in the American psyche, the debate on how best to conserve lions and other threatened species is not always consistent with pop culture notions.

Just 28 years ago, California condors were extinct in the wild. Now, says a report in Hakai Magazine, their population in central California exceeds 100; throughout the southwest United States, the total wild population is well over 300 and increasing, thanks in part to efforts to stamp out the threat of lead poisoning.

Here’s a question for animal rights activists who are opposed on moral grounds to hunting: what do you do when an entire ecosystem is under threat because one species has become dominant, threatening all other species?

“The change in right whale presence in Massachusetts Bay . . . is striking,” say researchers. “It’s likely linked to rapid changes in conditions along the Atlantic Coast, especially in the Gulf of Maine, which is warming faster than 99% of the rest of the world’s ocean surface.” Overall, right whale numbers are declining; estimates peg the population at about 400 with only 95 of them females of reproductive age.

It's a trend that's emerging among poachers along the Mozambique-South African border in which lions are killed for their teeth and claws. Chinese tourists are reportedly fueling the demand for these items in Kenya. Read the full story here. ... See MoreSee Less

The United Kingdom is now accepting public input regarding the import and export of hunting trophies to and from the UK. Conservationists, make your voices heard! Rural residents of Africa and Asia, and their communities, are the primary custodians of wildlife and habitat; their voices also must be heard. Governments everywhere need to acknowledge the conservation successes of these communities, and also their right to appropriately and sustainably manage their own natural resources. Please participate in the UK gov’t discussion and urge them to adopt Option Four. Submissions are due by January 25, 2020 👉🏼http://bit.ly/2RHeyWg #ConservationFirst #Wildlife ... See MoreSee Less

The Conservation Frontlines Foundation believes that the trophy-import ban being debated in the UK will have disastrous consequences for wildlife and habitat, especially in southern Africa. To clarify the issue, an analysis, titled “Perfidious Albion—Moves by the United Kingdom to Ban the Import of Hunting Trophies,” has been submitted to DEFRA, the British Dept. for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. The document notes the impacts of hunting on wildlife, habitat conservation and rural communities in southern Africa. The author, Rowan Martin, an expert on these matters, directly challenges the misinformation spread by animal-rights activists who support the import ban.
