The report found that 40% of all
the animals targeted are on the red list

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.

On April 9, an international court in France
ruled that Switzerland's inability to address
the climate crisis was a violation of human rights.

has failed to take action to stop climate change.
The ECHR determined that there were "critical gaps"
in Switzerland's efforts to reduce emissions, citing
the government's failure to meet past climate goals. .
The court ruled that the country's failures amount
to a breach of the women's protection from , “the serious adverse effects of climate change
on lives, health, well-being and quality of life.".
CNN reports that the ruling marks
the first time the ECHR has made
an official ruling on climate litigation. .
Today’s rulings against Switzerland

applies to all European countries. , Gerry Liston, Lawyer at Global Legal Action Network, via CNN.

This development coincided with the arrival of US CIA Director William Burns in the Egyptian capital, as reported by Egyptian sources.

While the United States has acknowledged some progress in the negotiations, the CIA declined to comment, adhering to its policy of not disclosing the director's travel details.
