Endangered Species Sale Tracker

I saw a story on CNN about the worldwide Internet trade in Endangered Species. Here's 1 link, Google 4 more

<[url removed, login to view]>

I want to create a program that searches Google, Yahoo, and other search engines, based on a list of names of Endangered Species. If it finds a match, it looks for other words on the site eg for sale, trade, shipping, purchase, credit cards etc. (list of keywords)

If it finds another match, the site is posted to an RSS feed, which can be shown on a Web site. People will go to this web site, donate money so that we can actually buy these animals, then give them to zoos and pursue the vendors by alerting every authority we can think of (email list)

Help me, help the animals, help the world! I can't believe that people are doing this, but it seems like with this idea it would be easy for us to make it hard for them.
