Stop the North American Fur Trade

Every year 50,000 otters are killed across U.S.A and Canada for their furs (UNODC, 2016).


North American River Otters revival has been something of a success. The species was eradicated across much of the continent due to excessive hunting and thanks to restoration efforts river otters now inhabit every continental state. The presence of otters is not just a sentimental luxury. Otters occupy the top of the food chain and by inhabiting a variety of habitats, their presence indicates a clean and balanced environment.
