Implementing a global ban has the potential to protect biodiversity and reduce illegal trafficking by preventing trade. A policy like this could also encourage nation-states to invest more in conservation and wildlife protection, since there would be consequences for governments who don’t comply with the ban. However, the reason I am not fully able commit to this ban is because of how challenging it will be to implement a ban like this, and many nations may not have the capacity to abide by this policy. Read Less

The continued trade of endangered animals and plants fuels exploitation and drives many species closer to extinction. When profit becomes tied to rare wildlife, poaching and illegal trafficking increase, threatening the survival of species such as elephants and rhinos. A global ban would remove the financial incentive that motivates such exploitation and will allow these species to recover naturally. Beyond conservation, this is also a moral issue as humans have an ethical responsibility to protect the environment and biodiversity. Read Less

    Yes, there should be a ban because as the question marks it, these species are endangered, and should not be sold. If so, the species will run out and die out, which hinders biodiversity.

    Yes, because the species are endangered. They should be protected, not sold.
