Círculo vicioso: Novo Relatório Joga Luz Sobre o Tráfico de Animais Silvestres Generalizado no Brasil

O tráfico ilegal de animais silvestres no Brasil compromete os esforços conservacionistas e o crescimento econômico, mas a coleta insuficiente de dados e má coordenação, também dificulta os eforços de fiscalização e combate.

Cambridge, Reino Unido, 27 de julho, 2020 -  A cada ano, milhões de animais silvestres e um grande volume de produtos dos mesmos são traficados domesticamente e internacionalmente dentro e fora do Brasil, mas a falta de dados de qualidade e o compartilhamento dos mesmos e coordenação da fiscalização entre as autoridades estaduais e federais, ajudam a esconder a extensão real do tráfico ilegal, de acordo com um novo relatório da TRAFFIC, “Wildlife Trafficking in Brazil”

About Wildlife TRAPS

The Wildlife TRAPS Project, implemented by TRAFFIC and IUCN with funding support from USAID, is helping to forge cross-sectoral partnerships with government and experts in inter-governmental organisations, NGOs, academia, and the private sector to identify risk mitigation strategies to prevent future zoonotic spillover potential associated with trade in wild animals. 

As well as social and behavioural change interventions, the Wildlife TRAPS project is supporting policy and regulatory reform efforts, including strengthening supply chain management systems. The identification of critical control points within wildlife trade supply chains will help target illicit and other high-risk wildlife trade practices that may facilitate the transmission of zoonotic diseases.
