End the global wildlife trade. Forever.

Every day, thousands of wild animals are poached, farmed or sold into the global multi-billion-dollar trade – for food, pets, traditional medicine and entertainment. Horrific conditions cause unimaginable suffering for every single animal involved. They also create a hotbed of zoonotic disease, leading to outbreaks like SARS and now COVID-19.

With the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the globe, we can no longer ignore the dangers of exploiting wild animals.

Beyond the pain inflicted on animals, we must stop this trade in wild animals now to help prevent future global health crises and protect our environment for generations to come.

Wildlife. Not entertainers

Wildlife. Not pets

This will help stop future pandemics and protect millions of animals.

Call on our leaders to protect wild animals, our health, the environment and the economy. Sign our petition today.

World leaders must ban the global wildlife trade for animals, people and planet

G20: End the wildlife trade

Wild animals don’t belong to us, they belong in the wild

This global crisis has exposed the urgent need to keep wild animals in the wild – something we have spent decades fighting for.

Now is the time to come together to end the suffering of wild animals and protect people.
