Concern about disapearing species

On the first place, you should simply give unobscured data to the affiliated scientists on the request, after basic verification.

This is something I think we’d like to do in the future but don’t have the staff capacity at the moment to do it at scale. Some sort of data manager position would be cool.

Even if invertebrate species is being commercially used on some occasions it doesn’t means that numerous poachers will go on exact spot to find this exact species, it’s not how it happening.

I’d love to get data on this, I’ve heard many differing opinions from various stakeholders and people experienced with wildlife trafficking.

Moreover, in IUCN Red List it’s clearly indicated for each species if its use is a threat and this data can be checked in the advanced search.

That’s an interesting idea. FWIW here’s how we automatically imported IUCN statuses a few years ago.
