The table of terrorists: Customs informed in the Erfurt zoo
In the Erfurt zoo, not only a variety of rare animal species is currently being presented, but also focused on an important topic. In front of the elephant house, a special campaign of the customs will take place on Sunday, July 28th, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This initiative is intended to inform visitors about the delicate topic of illegal souvenirs and animal trade.
Information and Enlightenment on illegal souvenirs
The customs officials will set up a "table of terrorisms" on which visitors can see shocking souvenirs. These objects come from illegal trade and illustrate the dangers and negative effects of tourism for endangered animal species. "Tourists often bring unauthorized souvenirs from their holiday countries without being aware of the consequences," explains a spokesman for the zoo.
The risk of illegal animal trade
Illegal trade in animal products and souvenirs is a billion dollar business and a serious threat to many species. In popular holiday countries, tourists are often exposed to temptations, such as leather goods made of protected animals. This problem should not be taken lightly because it contributes to endangering biodiversity. The customs officials are aware of these challenges and want to clarify with their action how important it is to provide the right information and clarification.
The goal of the action
With this special event in the Erfurt zoo, the customs officers want to give visitors the opportunity to clarify all questions regarding the import regulations. "What can I bring from vacation? Which documents are required? And what happens if I get caught without the necessary papers?" Visitors can ask these and many other questions at the information table. It is crucial that vacationers are trained in order to make responsible decisions.The campaign not only has an informative character, but also a preventive approach. It is intended to help raise awareness of illegal animal trade and the need for sustainable handling of nature and wildlife. By working together in Erfurt and customs, they show that the protection of animals and the elucidation of the public have to go hand in hand.
This approach could be an important step to educate tourists about the possible legal and ethical consequences of your purchases and thus contribute to the preservation of rare animal species.
