Product Description

Review
"Unless we can get programs initiated in more protected areas, it's going to be too late; everything's going to be gone." - Tim Redford, WildAid

Product Description
A powerful and provocative expose of the persistent illegal trade in endangered animals; Shocking photographs are accompanied by interviews with government officials, wildlife protection agents, and conservationists; Focuses on the poachers, smugglers and the buyers revealing the larger issues in this high-stakes game The world's illegal wildlife market is estimated by Interpol to be worth USD 6 billion a year, and is one of the fastest growing areas of international crime. Black Market tells of the forces driving this multibillion dollar trade, and profiles some of the brave activists who are fighting back. The reader is taken on a pictorial journey across the Asian continent to explore the destruction of animal habitats and the disappearance of entire species. This important book proves that we have much to gain by learning more about this truly global issue

5.0 out of 5 stars Black Market: inside the endangered species trade in Asia, 8 Jan 2006
Black Market is a remarkable and chilling read. Not only is it an effective exposition of the acts of abuse perpertrated against animals conveyed through powerful photography and factual account, but also of the cultural and institutionalized tradtions that drive a large part of the market coupled with the crippling poverty and corruption that seeks to exploit the lucrative and fragile resource of exotic and endangered species. We, in the West, continue to play our part as willing participants in the destruction by providing lucrative markets through 'lifestyle' choices.
The author counters the brutal revelations of Black Market by offering hope for our plundered ecosystems in the form of education. Education being the key to changing attitudes of present, and most importantly, future generations - of understanding that livelihoods can be earned other than through destruction of resources and that our anthropocentric vision can be broadened to appreciate and respect a diversity and richness beyond our own lives and needs. Black Market is a fascinating, disturbing and important read.
