#EXTINCTION
ENDSHERE
We are living through unprecedented times. COVID-19 has swept through our nations, communities and our homes, touching each and every one of us and changing the way we live in unimaginable ways. But we know the likely causes of this pandemic, and it's time to end the exploitation of wildlife and wildlife habitats that increases our exposure to pathogens that jump from animals to humans. It's time to make our voices heard. It's time to say enough is enough. Now that our own vulnerability has been laid bare, it's time to demand #ExtinctionEndsHere -- for all life on earth.
