This topic under consideration is the theme for the year 2016AD World Environmental Day held every year on 5th of June since 1993.
It is on record that the United Nations General Assembly mounted a campaign in 1972 for the prevention of our environment globally as endowed us by tthe Almighty God through nature.

Our mandate is to keep our environments green and serene as we found it when we came to life or were made to sojourn in it.
We also have the mandate to keep the wildlife in perpetual existence as designed by the Almighty God,allowing natural processes of replenishment.
With the understanding we have from the definition of the key words in the year's "Theme",we are to combat every illegal trade in the wildlife of our environment.

As simply saaying or asking humanity or mankind to put an end to all illegal,unauthorized and forbidden activities in our environment especially in the wildlife as follows:

1.Upholding the sanity of life as granted by God,even in the wildlife
2 Putting an end to depleting and devouring wildlife in our God given environment
3. Stopping human engagement in the extinction  of wildlife in our environment.
4 Doing evertything possible to preserve as much wildlife as possible in our God given environment.
5 Endeavoring to ensure conducive and enabling environment for wildlife.
6 Doing nothing that will be tantamount to the extinction of wild life.

It is the candid opinion of Chaplain Prof. Mike Jacobs that only skilled professionals sich as:
Environmental chaplains
Counsellors
Attorneys
Scientists
Theologians
Anthropologists
 Sgould be allowed to proffer the needed solutions to this particular problem of our world.
