TRAFFIC is attending the Convention on Biological Diversity CoP in Colombia, to accelerate actions on Targets 5&9: ensuring sustainable, safe, and legal trade in wild species, and managing wildlife sustainably for the benefit of people.
See examples of people taking actions to make these Targets a reality.
Trade in wild species is one of the world's most pressing conservation and development challenges.
Global supply chains for wild plants and animals provide livelihoods for hundreds of millions of the world’s poor. At the same time, illegal trade – one of the most profitable criminal activities worldwide – fuels environmental degradation and economic losses.
TRAFFIC is driving action to reduce illegal trafficking and enhance benefits to people from legal and sustainable trade of wild species. As a global trusted advisor, we generate evidence, analysis, and solutions to strengthen global and national policy frameworks, and build responsible and fair supply chains.
