Wildlife Symposium
Join us at this symposium to learn how we can help!
“The illegal trade of wildlife is the fourth most lucrative criminal activity worldwide, only exceeded by the trade of narcotics, counterfeiting and human trafficking,” said David Forster, also from Crime Stoppers.”
“Poaching of endangered animals occurring in York Region, ranging from bear to moose and rare and endangered turtles — most notably the wood and spotted turtle.”
“To deal with this issue, Crime Stoppers York Region is organizing a symposium to assist people in their efforts to look out for suspicious activity in natural areas, including off-trail activities, overnight parking or anglers carrying unusual equipment, such as snares or a large number of buckets.”
“We encourage people to get involved and help prevent the trafficking of our wildlife,” Crime Stoppers York Region chairperson Jack Hurst said.”
