Water Frogs hunted for their legs for food. Parrots and macaws stolen from their nests to become pets…but rarely actually making it to their final destination alive. The extraction of river turtle eggs for human consumption. Jaguars trafficked for their various parts. Caiman skinned for their hides. In a new project called Family Portraits, @danielalarconparquesnacionales captures striking images of the animals in Bolivia that have been victims of pet trafficking and poaching, with the hopes of inspiring conservation action. Worldwide, animal trafficking moves nearly as much money as human trafficking, between $20-$30 billion per year, according to @cites.
