English:

Can you tell us where most of the trafficked animals come from?

(Ex: where the animals are poached;)

Answer:

The trafficked animals usually come from North East and North of Brazil, and Pantanal. After that, the animals are exported to Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo; if the animals don’t get consumed in any of this two cities, the animals are re-exported to other countries, or other cities in Brazil.

Can you tell us where the animals where were most of the animals been taken to be sold when IBAMA apprehended them?

Answer:

The main recipients of wild animals trafficked from Brazil are: The U.S, Asia and Europe.

Can you tell us how are animals commonly transported from the place they  were poached to the place they, or their parts, will be sold?

Answer:

The animals are usually stabilized, in a way that they cannot emit sounds or move. The traffickers don’t think about the animal’s well being, they transport it through the easiest, and cheapest methods.(Ex: inside fake baggage, inside plastic bottles, sometimes even wrapped in pantyhose, so as not to be seen or to attract the attention of the police.) and because of that, 90% of the animals that are being transported die, due to the poor conditions of the traffic. Even though most of the animals die, during the process, it is profitable for the trafficker.

What do you think the consequences of animal trafficking are? (Both legally and environmentally)

Answer:

Environmentally consequences of Wildlife Trade:

1. The loss of Biodiversity; “Extinction”

2. Spread of diseases that come from animals (zoonoses);                                                “if Humans continue to i invade Animals’ homes, there will certainly be a imbalance of the environment.”

Legally:

There aren’t many laws around Nature’s Protection.The penalty is not strict enough;

Have you ever witnessed or apprehended an animal that was coming to Asia?  If so, would you be able to tell us the purpose of trafficking?

Answer: Debora doesn’t really work with the exportation part. But she told me that most of the animals that come from Brazil to Asia are meant to be sold as pets too create a breeding ground; For the purpose of making the animals reproduce, to sell them.

Not-so-fun-fact:

There is a breeding ground in Arabia that has exotic birds that were trafficked from Brazil; one of this birds’ specie (Ararinha Azul) have already being extinct.

In your experience, what are the challenges you’ve faced while trying to minimize Illicit Wildlife Trade?

Answer:

lack of inspection

How can we, students, contribute to stop  Wildlife Trafficking?

Not-buying wild animals;

Building everyone’s awareness;

denouncing when witnessing a possible wildlife trafficking;

Answer:

Portuguese:

Você pode nos dizer de onde vem a maioria dos animais traficados que o IBAMA apreende?  (Ex: onde os animais são capturados)

Você pode nos dizer para onde a maioria dos animais estavam sende levados para serem vendidos quando o IBAMA os apreendeu?

Você pode nos contar, como os animais são normalmente transportados, da origem ao destino final?

Quais, você acha que são, as consequências do tráfico de animais?                (Tanto legalmente e Ambientalmente)

Você já presenciou ou já apreendeu algum animal que estivesse vindo para a Ásia? Se sim, você saberia nos dizer a finalidade do tráfico?

Em sua experiência, quais são os desafios enfrentados ao tentar minimizar o comércio ilegal de animais selvagens?

Como  nós, estudantes, podemos contribuir para prevenir o tráfico de vida selvagem?

How?
We can make a Voice-Over and share with (Grade 6) students, parents and teachers here in CIS. And we can also upload the video on YouTube, and put a QR code on the hallways allowing anyone to access it.

Why?
To build awareness around this topic, and let people know that it is wrong to buy, sell or even support animals trafficking;

# data[].attributes.body
The PYP outlines a number of skills that you should develop and use in all levels and areas of your learning. These transdisciplinary skills are called social, research, communication, thinking and self-management skills.  The exhibition is an opportunity for you to demonstrate how capable you are of using all of these skills.

Social skills
Research skills
Communication skills
Thinking skills
Self-management skills
