Wildlife trafficking thrives online. Social media sites like Facebook are against wildlife trafficking, but the site is used by traffickers.

The degree of Facebook involvement in trafficking was studied by Avazz, a global online activist group.

From their work, it is clear that Facebook does not do enough to counteract the wildlife trafficking that happens om its site.
Hopefully they can challenge Facebook to do more. 

As user of social media in various forms, we can do ,ore by reporting anything suspicious that we come across.
No one group is responsible for wildlife trafficking and no one group will stop it. We all have to be vigilant.
