Poaching American Security: Impacts of Illegal Wildlife Trade
The Committee is meeting today to receive testimony on a disturbingly real and growing challenge: The illegal trade of wildlife and the role it may play in financing and fostering dangerous, violent elements around the globe, including those engaged in terrorism.
For many years, illegal weapons and illegal drugs have been the commodities of choice to some of the globe's most brazen underworld figures, even spawning the term "narco-terrorism." Yet the illegal wildlife trade, which has received considerably less public attention, is an increasing concern and may be on the rise.
As a result, illegal wildlife trafficking poses a risk not just to the survival of God's creatures, but also to the safety and stability of our world and the American people. This then is the wildlife version of blood diamonds.
