美国野生动物贩运联盟的捷蓝航空，美国鱼类和野生动物服务局敦促客户“购买明智的”

NEW YORK, November 17, 2016 /3BL Media/ – JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Wildlife Trafficking Alliance are educating travelers about how to “buy informed” and travel smart to the Caribbean. Thanks to this partnership, JetBlue is now airing a short film on all flights informing customers of the role they play in protecting Caribbean wildlife and preserving the region’s beauty. The video, featuring local Caribbean conservation heroes, will arm travelers with the right questions to ask when purchasing wildlife and plant-related products. View the video这里.

An increased interest in Caribbean wildlife is fueling trafficking of the area’s plants, animals and other natural resources. This is contributing to the decline and potential extinction of animal species such as sea turtles, blue and gold macaws and coral reefs – natural treasures that draw travelers to the Caribbean. In many cases, visitors may unwittingly be contributing to the decline of the very things they want to experience.

The Caribbean’s island geography makes it a highly biodiverse region. It is home to approximately 6,500 plant, 150 bird, 470 reptile, 40 mammal, 170 amphibian and 65 fish species not found anywhere else in the world. The global wildlife trafficking crisis threatens many of these species, which are used, often illegally, as pets, medicine, food, jewelry, clothing, souvenirs and household decorations. For example, sea turtles are used for food, jewelry and items such as combs; birds are taken from the wild and sold as pets or their feathers incorporated into souvenirs; unique reptiles are sold as exotic pets and used for clothing; and coral is taken for use in jewelry and décor.

“我们三分之一的旅行是去加勒比海和拉丁美洲的旅行。我们致力于保护其美丽和健康，这反过来又保护了旅游业和我们的业务。” Jetblue可持续发展主管Sophia Mendelsohn说。金博宝怎么注册“像许多旅行者一样，我最初并没有意识到野生动植物贩运的程度威胁着人们飞行以吸收的许多物种和加勒比海的独特性质。”

“This film is a great step forward in efforts to educate the public on the role they can play in combating wildlife trafficking,” said Service Director Dan Ashe. “The potential to reach the 35 million people who fly with JetBlue each year is an unprecedented opportunity for us to communicate with the very people we hope will be empowered as guardians of the Caribbean’s wildlife.”

2016年3月3日 - 世界野生动物日 - 捷蓝航空和该服务宣布了为期五年的合作伙伴，以打击野生动植物贩运。从那以后，他们努力在这部短片中吸引当地的加勒比保护英雄。这些人说明了当地社区的重要工作，以保护野生动植物。

联盟主席戴维·J·海斯（David J. Hayes）说：“保护世界上最濒危的物种需要美国消费者在出国旅行时做出明智的选择。”“ JetBlue致力于教育消费者是终止这种非法贸易的需求的重要一步。它的新电影将通过向消费者展示如何购买知情并帮助建立负责任的旅游文化的影响来产生重大影响。”
