Committee: International Labor Organization Topic: Animal trafficking Country: The Republic of Rwanda

The traffic of animals. By doing this they reduce Earths biodiversity and speed up animal extinction. The extinction of even a few species would mean that important pieces of food chain could disappear. At present, some countries possess laws that they protect, nevertheless it is calculated that more than of 15.000.000 of skins they sell a year, the man is the principal enemy of the animals, with violent direct actions, as the illegal trade of wild species and the hunt.

The republic of Rwanda, it is employed at the biodiversity, sustainability ansiental, reforestations, renewable energies etc... the city is internationally an acquaintance as green pioneer, So in Rwanda are in against of the animal trafficking. In Rwanda its not posible the animal trafficking, you can do it if the police dont catch you, but its not legal. For example in Rwanda and the will co-operate to protect the mountain gorillas living in the border regions where the three countries meet, reports Reuters, so there are laws to prohibit animal trafficking. They are fighting to protect the gorilas, because there are no many of them. Only about 650 gorillas survive in the world, half of whom live in the Virunga Mountains in northern Rwanda. A male gorilla can reach a height of 1.68 m, weight 200 kg in the wild. In captivity can measure a few inches taller and much bigger. The female is about 30 cm shorter than the male and half the weight of the male. The peoples living in the gorilla population has specific laws prohibiting the hunting and capture.

To prevent the extinction of animals, has created Akagera National Park is located in northeastern Rwanda, over 80 kms from the border with Tanzania. In Akagera National Park, the animals are in danger of extinction throughout Rwanda Akagera National Park is located in northeastern Rwanda, over 80 kms from the border with Tanzania. To prevent the extinction of animals, has created Akagera National Park is located in northeastern Rwanda, over 80 kms from the border with Tanzania. In Akagera National Park, the animals are in danger of extinction throughout Rwanda. Because different types of weather and topography are given a variety of fauna. There is a 50 different species of mammals including zebra, aquatic cob, horse or antelope roan antelope, buffalo, redunca, topi, eland, oribi, sitatunga, common duiker, hippo, impala, leopard, lion, wild dogs, warthogs and spotted hyena and warthog. There are plenty of baboons, vervet monkey and ape mitis, especially in the lake region. The black rhinoceros was reintroduced in 1958 and an elephant in 1975. Akagera has a highly diverse and abundant avifauna, with 525 different species recorded including migratory birds and 44 species of raptors. There have been some 180 species of reptiles.

In my opinion about the extinction of animals in Rwanda, which should be more valued. And that animals should be more protected from hunters, because they too are alive and need to live in freedom. In other animal dies if we humans could not live without many of them.
