ENDANGERED #WILDLIFE β€œWe are seeing social media becoming the new marketplace for endangered wildlife. It is easily accessible and massively unregulated, placing a direct threat to species' survival. TikTok’s current failure to enforce its own rules is giving traders access to global buyers and puts endangered species, like white-bellied pangolins, a few clicks away from extinction.” - Dr. Angie Elwin, contributing researcher and Head of Research at World Animal Protection. image
