Trafficking endangered species can be profitable by taking advantage of high demand for exotic items and low penalties associated with certain violations. Illegal activities may include poaching, trading in products derived from protected wildlife, or falsifying documentation to appear legitimate. Organized crime syndicates have taken advantage of demand for endangered species products and may offer lucrative rewards to those willing to engage in illegal activities. Profits may come through selling entire animal bodies or body parts, traditional medicines made from protected wildlife such as ivory and rhinoceros horns, exotic pets such as snakes and turtles, handicrafts such as beaded jewelry, textiles made from animal hides, food derivatives such as tortoiseshell casters used in soup stocks or herbal remedies derived from endemic species.
