How do we fight illegal trade?
MojoStreaming encourages you to take these steps!

Step 2: Promote our videos and podcasts by sharing them on social media
Step 3: Visit this site Wildlifebroadcast.com and https://www.mojostreaming.com/ regularly to stay up to date
Step 4: Leave us a tip to help us continue producing content at https://www.wildlifebroadcast.com/get-involved/#tip
Step 5: Do not like or reshare videos of everyday people that have wildlife as pets
Step 6: Many countries still allow wildlife import into their country. Most wildlife that is being imported have been captured in the wild, families of the species being killed, many not surviving the journey, etc. Many also were captured illegally to be purchased for high dollars.
Step 7: We must demand stricter laws for wildlife trade, especially on endangered species.
Step 8: Some states in the USA made it legal to own an endangered chimp, and across other countries – we need to demand changing the status from legal to illegal
Step 9: We must demand stricter laws and punishment against illegal trade, exotic breeding, auctions of wildlife, etc.
Step 10: Educate yourself and others on the harm in taking a baby from its mother or what the impact can be when a species goes extinct. Learn by following our informative Mojo Talk Shows at https://www.mojostreaming.com/videos/talk-show-channel?o=mv
Here is one example of the effects on a species when people want to own a chimpanzee/ape as a pet.
“To catch the babies, they have to kill the entire family in the jungle, usually between 8 and 10 individual apes, and many of the baby apes will die before reaching their final destination,” Chantereau said.
Many of the buyers of the smuggled babies are wealthy people who want to keep exotic animals in their homes, according to Chantereau.
“They don’t understand the consequences of their actions because for one baby to arrive in their hands, at least ten have been killed,” he said.
Keep in mind the harm to wildlife is mostly for money! It is a multi-million dollar business. For example, if one is caught in the USA for illegal trade of animals or illegal trade of body parts from endangered animals, for example, ivory – the jail time and fines are minimal; therefore, it does not encourage them to stop; this leads to the next step of action.
Step 11: Contact your government demanding stricter laws. Vote for politicians willing to fight for wildlife and our planet.
Step 12: Financially support wildlife causes and/or wildlife sanctuaries and rescue groups.
