Indonesia has committed to implement the sustainable development goals (SDG) by 2030 including the ending trafficking of protected species and addressing the illegal wildlife demand and supply. As such, there is a need for long‐term data on wild animal trade and its contribution to the wider economy. We initiated a long‐term monitoring programme of live civet trade in wildlife markets (120 surveys, 2010–2023). Civets are traded to be kept as exotic pets and to produce civet coffee and are a proxy for other high‐profile wildlife. We recorded 2289 civets of six species, including ones with strict regulations in place. Despite the trade being illegal, and contra to Indonesia's commitments as part of the SDG to curb this trade, it remained remarkably stable over time (numbers, species, prices). As such, Indonesia is not meeting its SDG targets that are related to curbing illegal wildlife trade and illicit financial flows.

Indonesia’s Civet Lover clubs are urban and suburban social groups comprised of civet (sp. Viverridae) pet keeping enthusiasts. Civet Lover clubs operate regionally and nationally, with trends in civet pet keeping facilitated in online social media platforms. The breeding of wild civets (known as “home breeding”) for the pet trade, grew in popularity in 2016 in response to consumer demand for civets with unique morphological characteristics. This research aims to analyse the scalability of civet home breeding and to document the morphological changes occurring to civet species through the process of selective breeding. This research is a case study analysis of the most popular home breed enterprise operating on Instagram from 2016 to 2021. Data comprise all Instagram posts shared to the platform during the period of operation, within which the number of civet copulations, births, and sales were recorded along with the featured civet’s species and morphological characteristics. The conservation implications of civet home breeding are discussed.
