Ban Exotic Animal Skins on the Runway? “Ridiculous!” Say Conservation Experts.

London fashion week bans use of exotic animal skins from its 2025 shows.

British Fashion Council says ban is part of wider range of standards to promote sustainable practices.

IUCN experts say ban could harm the protection of many snakes, crocodiles, and reptile species.

Ban would undermine economic incentives for communities to conserve species, they say.
