In this photo taken April 20, 2010, a male peacock that sells for $700 is seen at a pet shop in Baghdad, Iraq. The sale of wildlife and trafficking of endangered species has been largely ignored by Iraq’s government as it has struggled to make the country safer and even though the security situation has improved, it is still not a priority. Conservation groups warn at the same time, however, that the wildlife trade is on the increase as people have fewer concerns about going out shopping and more money to spend.
