The international wildlife trade is causing more than a 60 per cent fall in species abundance, a new study reveals.   An international team of researchers, including experts from the University of Sheffield, performed a meta-analysis of the wildlife trade from 31 studies.  They found a 62 per cent fall in species abundance overall, as well as an 80 per cent decline in abundance specifically for endangered species, due to both legal and illegal trade.  There was also even declines as high as 56 per cent in protected areas, according to the experts, who say current protective measures fail animal species in the wild. Unsustainable harvesting, including hunting, trapping, fishing and logging – which often occurs in protected areas – is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity.
