One of the most well known and widely recognised animals, elephants are threatened by illegal wildlife trade mainly due to demand for ivory.

In just a decade, more than 7,245 African rhinos have been poached. 

Many species of big cats are threatened by the illegal wildlife trade because of a demand for their teeth, claws, bones, fur and skins.

Since 2000, it is estimated that more than 1 million pangolins have been traded illegally making them the most trafficked mammal in the world.
