Wild Targets

The illicit wildlife trade is one of the most lucrative black-market industries in the world, behind only drug trafficking, counterfeit goods, and human trafficking. Wild Targets is a Mongabay video series that explores the cultural beliefs behind the pervasiveness of poaching, as well as the innovative and inspiring solutions that aim to combat the trade. Join our journalists as they visit a wildlife rescue center in Brazil, search for the endangered pink river dolphin in Peru, befriend antitrafficking giant rats in Tanzania, and investigate the snake trade in India.
