Wildlife Just Got a Major Upgrade

Did you hear? Sloths, Galápagos iguanas, sharks, and even the rare okapi just scored some serious protection at the latest CITES conference. Now, trading wild sloths and iguanas is basically banned, and sharks and rays are getting way stricter rules. It’s a huge win for these animals, but there’s still a lot of work to do to stop wildlife trafficking. If you want to help, skip the exotic pets and those wild animal selfies! #Science #WildlifeProtection #CITES
