Enhancing Wildlife Protection Laws in Nigeria.
<p>Nigeria’s current wildlife law is old and inconsistent with international standards. Besides, it has weak penalties and provides little or no deterrence for wildlife criminals. This story will examine the economic losses caused by wildlife crime, the potential for eco-tourism, and the importance of preserving biodiversity in Nigeria. We will set up interviews with the organizations at the frontline of pushing for a new law, the Endangered Species Conservation and Protection Bill, 2024. The bill passed its second reading, and a public hearing was held in Nigeria’s House of Representatives in October 2024.Championed by Hon. Terseer Ugbor, the Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Environment: The Bill tackles pressing challenges such as illegal wildlife trade, species conservation, and the decline of Nigeria’s precious wildlife and their habitats. The bill also seeks to improve the capabilities of law enforcement agencies, give investigator smore powers to look into financial matters and conduct operations guided by intelligence, and enable judges to speed up wildlife cases and recover assets. Additionally, it aligns with international treaties, encourages global cooperation, and introduces stricter penalties for poachers and traffickers. The new law will introduce stricter penalties for wildlife trafficking, including hefty fines and imprisonment, empowering law enforcement agencies to take decisive action against those involved in illegal activities.</p>

World Vulture Day: Why Are Vultures Vanishing in Nigeria?
<p>Vulture populations on the African continent have plummeted catastrophically over the last 50 years,</p><p>with some species declining by as much as 97%. Seven of the eleven African vulture species are at risk of</p><p>extinction.</p><p>These majestic birds are now faced with extinction, with some species for the continent declining up to</p><p>97% over the last 50 years.</p><p>Today, 7 out of 11 African vulture species are threatened with extinction due to various threats.</p><p>Poisoning is the major cause of vulture mortalities, accounting for more than 60% of vulture deaths on</p><p>the continent. In some instances, poachers lace carcasses with poison to kill vultures as they alert</p><p>authorities of poaching activities. In other cases, vultures are killed unintentionally when herders lace</p><p>carcasses with poison to kill predators in retaliatory killings, and vultures die after feeding on these</p><p>carcasses</p><p><br></p><p>This report will investigate the reasons for the dwindling vulture population. It would highlight the</p><p>ecological consequences of losing vultures and the potential public health risks associated with</p><p>unregulated traditional medicine practices.</p><p>The Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) has been engaging traditional healers intending to raise</p><p>awareness about plant-based alternatives to vulture parts. Since October 2019, these meetings have</p><p>been held in the northern states of Sokoto Kano and Yobe, and the southern state of Ogun. More than</p><p>80 traditional healers have taken part in these events. Recently, NCF created Vulture Safe Zone Activities</p><p>in Anambra State to support community-based monitoring and conservation of the vulture population.</p><p>This report will look at the direct link between the demand for vulture parts in traditional medicine and</p><p>the dwindling vulture population. It would highlight the ecological consequences of losing vultures and</p><p>the potential public health risks associated with unregulated traditional medicine practices.</p><p>This episode will feature Dr Stella Egbe, Species Conservation Manager - Nigeria Conservation</p><p>Foundation.</p>
