The black market for illegal wildlife trade is considered the biggest threat to many endangered species. Although it is controlled by laws created by member countries of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, illegal trade continues. And many species are now being pushed ever closer to extinction to satisfy huge demand for such things as medicines, collectables, pets and clothing. Photo: Paul Hilton for Earth Tree

  • Illegal loggers cut down trees in the Tripa peat forest, Sumatra, Indonesia. In the law Court of Meulaboh, Aceh Province, Indonesia, held its first hearing of a civil case brought by Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Attorney General’s Office vs the palm oil company, PT Kallista Alam, for crimes conducted in the Tripa Peat Swamp Forest. The Indonesian Ministry of the Environment was represented by prosecutors from the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic of Indonesia. PT Kallista Alam, on the other hand, did not appear, causing the trial to be postponed since the judges were unable to address both parties. One of the prosecution team, Lawyer Ryan Palasi, expressed disappointment over the company’s absence, "it suggests the defendant is not taking the proceedings seriously and not committed to settling the case," he said after the hearing.
