The unrestricted exploitation of wildlife has led to the disappearance of many animal species at an alarming rate, destroying Earth's biological diversity and upsetting the ecological balance. The problem is particularly acute in developing countries. Scientists estimate that various animal and plant species may be disappearing at the rate of one every day, with thousands more on the verge of extinction. Widely sought for everything from medical research, medicinal supplies, and display in zoos, to satisfying the demands of high fashion, the illegal trade in wildlife is a lucrative business, making it difficult to control. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is actively involved in working with governments, scientists, private organizations and other concerned groups to preserve and protect our endangered species.

Headline Secretary-General Visits New Zealand 
Caption Description Aerial view of the terrain north of Christchurch, as Secretary-General António Guterres departs from New Zealand for Fiji, the second nation to be visited on his visit to the South Pacific.
Mr. Guterres traveled to the South Pacific to spotlight the issue of climate change ahead of the Climate Action Summit to be convened in September 2019 in New York. The trip took him to New Zealand, Fiji, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. In each country, Mr. Guterres met with government leaders, civil society representatives and youth groups, to hear from those already impacted by climate change and who are also successfully engaging in meaningful climate action.
