INTRODUCTION

Because of human activity, many animals are now considered extinct, and many others are

considered endangered and in risk of extinction. As people get more concerned and aware of

the importance of wild life conservation, more efforts are put towards protecting endangered

species, as a consequence , great results were achieved (Graham-Rowe,2011). However

animal trade is still a treat for many species which are still commercialized for many different

purposes.

Despite of the more extensive control and more severe legislation, it is very hard to control

and stop illegal animal trafficking as many animals have an extremely high value in the black

market which stimulates this practice. Asia is one of the biggest markets for

commercialization of endangered species, as because of the culture a wide range of species

are utilized in popular medicine or gastronomy for example.

Governments and other organizations are key players who work to protect the wild life. In

order to implement actions and make decisions aiming to stop wildlife trade and protect

endangered species they need updated information about the animals being traded, such as

origin, destination and purpose for example. By having that information, it is possible to

better allocate resources and be more effective.

In this report, there different personas, with different roles in the wildlife commerce will be

used as an example of how data can help them to achieve their objectives. Furthermore,

spreadsheets form Tableau will demonstrate how data visualization can help with data

analysis.
