EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stark reality that persists despite global efforts to protect wildlife. In the bustling outdoor market of Djibouti-ville, tourists are confronted with a disturbing sight - leopard skins openly displayed for sale in curio stalls. The worldwide ban on trade in these coveted hides seems to have little effect here. The origins of these illicit goods can be traced back to neighboring Somalia and Ethiopia, where poaching remains rampant. Smuggled across borders, these precious pelts find their way into the hands of vendors who cater to the tourist trade. It is within this black market setting that the beauty and tragedy of Africa's iconic leopards collide. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the urgent need for stronger enforcement against illegal wildlife trafficking. The allure of leopard skin may entice some visitors seeking exotic souvenirs, but it comes at an immeasurable cost to our natural world. Let us not turn a blind eye to this flagrant violation; instead, let us raise awareness about the devastating consequences of such practices. Only through collective action can we hope to preserve these magnificent creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.
