Wildlife trafficking was another major focus this year. Authorities recovered more than 1,000 live animals, including endangered Bengal tigers, lions, jaguars, ocelots, parrots and macaws.

What the archive is learning

Fresh reporting is discovery, not the final product. Each accepted item becomes structured evidence that can be joined with later observations. These findings describe our evidence archive; they are not claims that news volume itself measures real-world progress.
