=My predictions= I think my country is going to be evolved in both topics: Child Labour and Wildlife trafficking. I don't think finding information about these topics in my country is going to be easy because Pakistan is not a very popular country. My opinion about child labour is that it make possible a lot of things to be made and sell.
