Are your social media habits good for wildlife?
Liking a post on social media might seem harmless, but engaging with the
wrong post can actually fuel the illegal wildlife trade.
We know it seems like a stretch, but this cycle explains how.
Gibbons, Sun Bears and many other animals are prolific on the illegal pet trade, with many babies stolen from the wild and transported all over the world to be sold.
Heartbreakingly, a baby bought nearly always means a mother killed.
It may seem harmless to engage with a social post, but for the sake of wildlife, it’s always better to just scroll away (or even report it!).
Before you engage, look at every animal post with these points in mind.
