[Commentary] Well-managed protected areas aren't enough to stop the illegal wildlife trade while criminal networks remain intact.
In a new op-ed Ofir Drori, director of The EAGLE Network, argues that targeting corruption and dismantling trafficking syndicates is critical to securing wildlife.

Remote Sensing, Real Impact - Technology-Driven Conservation At The Jane Goodall Institute

“Dr. Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research at Gombe National Park in Tanzania began in 1960, and transformed our understanding of chimpanzees and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. Dr. Goodall dedicated her life to conservation and community empowerment. Her recent passing marks the end of an extraordinary career in ethology and conservation science. Yet her legacy lives on powerfully through the Jane Goodall Institute [JGI] and the countless individuals and communities she inspired worldwide. Her pioneering work revealed that chimpanzees make and use tools, have complex social structures, and possess individual personalities; discoveries that fundamentally challenged our understanding of what it means to be human, for the better…
The institute's current work embodies Dr. Goodall's profound philosophy: that humanity can only reach its full potential "when our clever brains and our compassionate hearts are connected."
This principle guides every aspect of JGI's conservation science strategy, from analyzing satellite data to providing local communities with the tools they need to strengthen their environment. Dr. Goodall's vision that conservation must be rooted in compassion, scientific rigor, and respect for local communities continues to shape the institute's innovative approach to using technology for conservation action.
As time has gone on, geospatial technologies have become increasingly indispensable to this mission, enabling JGI to monitor forest health in real-time, map critical chimpanzee habitats and migration corridors, and measure the tangible impact of community-led conservation initiatives. But perhaps most importantly, these technologies help the communities understand that the lives of people, animals and their shared environment are all interconnected…”

Kenya’s newest wildlife scandal involves ants, airport security, and a very ambitious suitcase
Suspected smuggled ants packed into capsules during a wildlife trafficking bust at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.Dear Cherubs, Nairobi has somehow joined the list of places where even ants are apparently worth smuggling. According to Reuters, Chinese national Zhang Kequn, 27, was arrested at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in March 2026 after investigators said they found 2,238 live garden ants in his luggage, including 1,948 packed in test tubes and the rest hidden in tissue-paper rolls.
THE BIG SWITCH
This was not a random insect mishap. Reuters reported that Zhang had been in Kenya for two weeks, that officials linked him to three alleged accomplices, and that immigration had already flagged a stop order on his passport after he evaded arrest in Kenya the year before. Investigators were also checking his phone and laptop, which suggests this was less “oops” and more “organized inconvenience with legs.”
The species at the center of the case was Messor cephalotes, the giant African harvester ant, which Reuters said is sought after by ant enthusiasts who keep colonies in formicariums, those transparent habitats where people watch ant society do its highly efficient thing. Reuters also reported that export of the species from Kenya requires a Kenya Wildlife Service licence and a health certificate. So no, this was not a souvenir for the minibar.
WHY THE SMALL STUFF MATTERS
The bigger story is the shift in wildlife trafficking from iconic animals to smaller species that still matter ecologically. Reuters reported that Kenya’s wildlife service described an earlier 2025 ant case as a milestone in the fight against biopiracy because it involved the attempted export of Kenya’s genetic resources without prior informed consent or benefit-sharing. ENACT Africa says smuggling live ants can violate Kenya’s Wildlife Conservation and Management Act and fits the definition of biopiracy. Tiny package, big legal problem.
The 2025 case makes the whole thing even stranger. Reuters reported that about 5,000 queen ants were concealed in modified test tubes and syringes designed to keep them alive for up to two months and slip past airport security. The same report said the haul had a street value of about 1 million Kenyan shillings, which is a lot of money for something most people would not notice unless it crawled into their shoe.
What Kenya is dealing with here is not just a quirky airport bust. It is a reminder that the black market keeps adapting, and that conservation can’t stop at the big, photogenic species. Ants may be small, but they help sustain ecosystems, and the demand for rare ones has turned them into a cross-border commodity. Nature, as ever, is doing the most while humans turn it into a side hustle.

Environmental crime or wildlife crime are crimes which are destructive or extractive to nature

Illegal activities harming the environment and aimed at benefiting individuals or groups or companies from the exploitation of, damage to, trade or theft of natural resources, including, but not limited to serious crimes and transnational organized crime"
"In 2018 a farmhand in rural Victoria, Australia, was found guilty of the illegal killing of over 400 wedge-tailed eagles (Aquila audax), a large and long-lived bird of prey which is protected under the Wildlife Act 1975 (Vic) "

Crime against wildlife is surging in Australia
Flogging off native animals and plants" Around the world, wildlife and environmental crime is surging. It is estimated to be the fourth largest organised transnational crime sector, and to be growing at a rate two to three times faster than the global economy."
"This is a considerable problem, because Australia has unique and endemic wildlife species, high extinction rates, and is a country that is difficult to police due to its sheer size and vast remote areas. Our new, Australia-first study addresses this knowledge gap."
"We don’t understand the full extent and impact of these crimes in Australia, but we do know they can be disastrous. Wildlife trafficking and illegal trade erodes biodiversity through the removal of native species from their habitats. It also fuels the spread of invasive species, parasites and diseases."
"Over half of the environmental crimes (61.3%) occurred in outer regional and remote areas of Australia. "

The world is full of intelligent, beautiful and rare parrots, but they're falling victim to wildlife trafficking. Thankfully, researchers have figured out how to use DNA databases to protect our feathered friends.
So, how does the use of genomic forensics help protect parrots? And what is a DNA database?
To recognise World Parrot Day, we asked Dr George Olah of The Australian National University for the facts; here is 60 Seconds of Science.https://youtu.be/jPuoFvld6_U
