4,000 species from around the world
are the targets of wildlife traffickers. .

this causes "untold harm upon nature.".
The report found that 40% of all
the animals targeted are on the red list
of threatened or nearly threatened species.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) report
found that the trade, driven by demand for medicine,
pets and trophies, is active in over 80% of countries.

Wildlife crime inflicts untold harm
upon nature, and it also jeopardizes
livelihoods, public health, good
governance and our planet’s
ability to fight climate change, Ghada Waly, Executive director of UNODC, via 'The Guardian'.
Researchers warn that wildlife crime is often
linked to organized crime, with corruption playing a critical role in impeding efforts to stop trafficking. .
'The Guardian' reports that this corruption can
take the form of bribes paid to inspectors and
government officials in exchange for fake permits.

Ebrahim Raisi, the Iranian President known for his hard-line stance and close ties to the country's supreme leader, passed away at the age of 63. Raisi was heavily involved in the large-scale executions of thousands in 1988 and subsequently oversaw Iran's efforts to enrich uranium to levels close to those required for nuclear weapons. Additionally, he led Iran as it conducted a significant drone and missile strike against Israel. Given Raisi's polarising leadership and the myriad internal and external challenges confronting Iran, conjecture has arisen regarding the potential involvement of domestic adversaries or even external entities such as Israel.
