The illegal bushmeat trade is pushing iconic species, like pangolins, to the brink of extinction and is a serious risk to human health. Over 70% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, meaning they come from animals, and can easily spread in the conditions created by the bushmeat trade. 🦠 If we continue down this path, we risk creating the next pandemic and leaving little of our natural heritage behind for future generations. 🌍 But there is hope. We can still take action to protect ourselves and our wildlife. Tell your friends and family not to buy or sell illegal bushmeat and report any illegal activities you observe. Let’s unite in our efforts to protect Africa’s wildlife because protecting nature protects us all. 💚 #WildlifeConservation #StopWildlifeCrime #EndBushmeatTrade #WildAfrica #SaveWildlife #CoexistWithWildlife
