Uncover the hidden paths of nature this summer!  The Hidden World of Wildlife Trade is a free trail, following the stories of 12 animals and the people working to keep them safe. As you explore the Museum, look for the special exhibition information, highlighting the threats facing each animal and showing how people are working together to help bring some amazing species back from the brink. 

Created by the wildlife experts at TRAFFIC, this family-friendly exhibition uncovers the global markets behind everything from exotic pets to luxury goods. 

See how innovative 3D-printing technology is saving sharks, and discover how sustainable choices protect our planet.  

Pick up your free trail leaflet in the Museum. 

TRAFFIC would like to thank Wolfson Foundation, Arcadia, the Postcode Animal Trust and players of Postcode Lottery UK. Their generosity not only helped make the wildlife trade trail possible, but also supports vital conservation of many of the featured animals.

Further thanks to Ghost Fishing UK for supplying the nets for the trail’s 3D shark fin display. Their mission to collect discarded fishing gear like this from the oceans around the UK is working to help restore ocean health.
