Based on the World Wildlife Crime Report 2024, of the 1,652 mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibian species recorded in Seizures, what percent has been classified as Threatened or Near Threatened species ?
Answer: C
The key gives 40%.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime published the World Wildlife Crime Report 2024 on 13 May 2024. It draws on government records of seizures from 162 countries and territories between 2015 and 2021, taken from the CITES illegal trade database and UNODC's World WISE database. A secondary summary of the report states that about 40% of the seized animal species were threatened or near threatened on the IUCN Red List, which matches the keyed option.
I could not retrieve the report itself to check the figure against its own tables, and I could not confirm the count of 1,652 species quoted in the question, so this answer rests on the key and that summary. The other options, 30%, 35% and 45%, differ from it only in the figure.
