Which are some of the negative impacts from illegal wildlife trade and environmental crimes? (Select Two.)

ABarriers to banking by low income population

BLoss of potential tax proceeds

CPublic health consequences

DThreats to biodiversity

DThreats to a country's political stability

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D, D

Some of the negative impacts of illegal wildlife trade and environmental crimes are loss of potential tax proceeds and threats to biodiversity. Loss of potential tax proceeds occurs when illegal wildlife trade and environmental crimes evade taxation and customs duties, depriving governments of revenues that could be used for public services and development. Threats to biodiversity occur when illegal wildlife trade and environmental crimes endanger species, habitats, and ecosystems, reducing their resilience and ability to provide essential services for human well-being. Public health consequences and threats to a country's political stability are not directly related to illegal wildlife trade and environmental crimes, but rather to other types of financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorism financing, or corruption.

I feel pretty confident about this. The loss of tax proceeds and barriers to banking don't seem directly related to illegal wildlife trade, so I'm going to go with the biodiversity and public health options.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if the political stability one counts as a negative impact or not. I'll have to think about that one a bit more.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Are we supposed to pick two that are negative impacts, or two that are not negative impacts? I'll need to read this carefully.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think public health consequences could be linked to environmental crimes. Didn’t we cover something about zoonotic diseases?
