Re-Wilding Brazil's Stolen Animals - Juliana Machado Ferreira

Every year at least 38 million animals are pulled from Brazil's forests and sold into the wildlife trade. The macaws, songbirds, reptiles and small mammals are bought by people who, often, are well intentioned and think of themselves as "nature lovers". But National Geographic Emerging Explorer Juliana Machado Ferreira explains that their enthusiasm is simply robbing the environment of its value. She describes her fight to end the illegal wildlife trade in Brazil and explains the considerations that must be taken before returning a "kidnapped" animal back into the wild.
