Illegal traffic flora and fauna

Illegal Traffic: flora and fauna

Illegal Traffic: flora and fauna a new book that José Antonio Samamé Saavedra gives us, the same one that is the product of a provocative investigation that begins by characterizing the current situation of the species of wild flora and fauna in the presence of anthropic threats manifested through of illegal trade, illicit possession of wildlife, indiscriminate illegal logging of critically endangered and vulnerable species, trafficking and poaching, as well as the limited effectiveness of the mechanisms and those responsible for their protection, whether due to lack of rigor in the sanctions and weakness of the controls to the management plans, among others.

Whereupon it opens the range of possibilities and proposes to prioritize productive conservation for wildlife management. That is to say, move towards productive conservation with sustainable business models, protagonism of the different social actors, especially rural communities duly trained for the use of species of wild flora and fauna or promoting the consumption of certified products derived from biodiversity.

Taking a region like Lambayeque as a reference, what is proposed breaks with romantic or utopian ideas of conservation, the same ones that have been losing ground to criminal organizations that enrich themselves from illegal logging, poaching, the commercialization of exotic species, in short. of the depredation of natural resources.
