=My Predictions:=

In my country the traffic of animals benefit because there are a lot of merchants in where animals, specially parrots are sold by a good quantity of money. If this continues in a few years this kind of animal will disappear so the animal traffick affect a lot to parrots here, in Istambul, Turkey. The people who sell animals where economically benefit because they receive money. In my opinion it would be a good idea to stop animal traffick by providing the money needed to stop it. I think also would be a good idea to incorporate some laws or accords between countries that care animals, like CITES. This unfortunately fact can be stoped putting fences and other protections that prevent people to go on the places that the animal is found. Hereby, at least will reduce it a bit. Also, the traffickers can sell other things like clothes or food to prevent the animal traffick. To prevent the traffick of animals, in the borders can put more safety positions to control the people who enter or go out the country.

On the other hand i think in turkey there aren't child labour because there are some laws that says that childrens had to go to the school. It is possible that some bad people take boys to have them working for himself or thing like that.
