Why cactus and cod?
The plight of polar bears, pandas, and other large iconic mammals is generally well known, at least in industrialized countries.But most people don't stop to consider whether the fish they eat, the house plants they buy, or the herbal tea they drink comes from a threatened species, or whether taking it from the wild harmed its habitat or another species.
Most people also don't realize that hundreds of millions of plants and animals are harvested from the wild each year, from thousands of species.
We want to make sure that cacti, cod, and all other species involved in wildlife trade are harvested sustainably and in a way that doesn't hurt other species or their wider ecosystem.
