Wildlife commodification can generate benefits for biodiversity conservation, but it also has negative impacts; overexploitation of wildlife is currently one of the biggest drivers of vertebrate extinction risk. In the present article, we highlight 10 issues that in our experience impede sustainable and humane wildlife trade. Given humanity's increasing demands on the natural world we question whether many aspects of wildlife trade can be compatible with appropriate standards for biodiversity conservation and animal welfare, and suggest that too many elements of wildlife trade as it currently stands are not sustainable for wildlife or for the livelihoods that it supports. We suggest that the onus should be on traders to demonstrate that wildlife use is sustainable, humane, and safe (with respect to disease and invasion risk), rather than on conservationists to demonstrate it is not, that there is a need for a broad acceptance of responsibility and, ultimately, widespread behavior change. We urge conservationists, practitioners, and others to take bold, progressive steps to reach consensus and action.

动物生命交易：商品化野生动物保护路上的十个棘手问题

野生动物商品化可以为生物多样性保护带来好处，但也有负面影响；对野生动物的过度捕捞目前是脊椎动物灭绝风险的最大驱动因素之一。在本文中，我们强调了 10 个根据我们的经验阻碍可持续和人道的野生动物贸易的问题。鉴于人类对自然世界的需求日益增加，我们质疑野生动物贸易的许多方面是否可以与生物多样性保护和动物福利的适当标准兼容，并建议目前野生动物贸易的太多要素对野生动物或对人类来说是不可持续的。它支持的生计。我们建议贸易商有责任证明野生动物的使用是可持续的、人道的和安全的（就疾病和入侵风险而言），需要广泛接受责任并最终广泛改变行为，而不是让环保主义者证明事实并非如此。我们敦促环保主义者、从业者和其他人采取大胆、渐进的步骤，以达成共识并采取行动。
