The illegal bat trade is threatening their
conservation.

Amazon

In the shadow of illegal wildlife markets, a
lesser-known but disturbing trade flourishes. The online sales of bat
taxidermy — including the endangered Kerivoula picta — are marketed as
decorative items on platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Amazon. This trade not
only violates international conservation laws but also fuels the decline of
species crucial to our ecosystems.
Sign the petition to urge Etsy, eBay, and Amazon to
do better at stopping the illegal sale of endangered bats online!
Kerivoula picta bats, also known as painted woolly
or fire bats, are brightly colored and strikingly patterned.
Conservationists cite online demand for these bats is one of the primary
threats driving their decline in their natural habitats across Asia. To make
matters worse, sellers often mislead consumers with claims of sustainable
sourcing. Sign the petition to demand the CEOs of Etsy, eBay, and Amazon to
enforce policies against the sale of threatened wildlife, and penalize the
sellers who violate these policies!
Thank you,
