Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Are your internet habits harming wildlife?

As you probably know, Elephants, Rhinos, and Pangolins are critically endangered species mainly because of poaching and trafficking of their ivories, horns, and skins. There are also other species that are endangered by human desire, not for their body part but because of their cuteness. As photos and videos of rarely-seen cute animals like Red pandas and Loris attract viewers on the Internet, the demand for these little animals increases and develops a black market where people try to capture and sell these animals to those eager buyers. As a result, the population of these cute animals decreases in the wild.

Adoration of animal photos and videos could indeed endanger their lives and existence.

Enjoy reading and learn what harmless, heartwarming images on the Internet could do to wildlife.
