our mission working to bring about sustainable wildlife trade for over forty years

TRAFFIC plays a unique and leading role as a global wildlife trade specialist. 

Our team of over 130 staff around the world carry out research, investigations and analysis to compile the evidence we use to catalyse action by governments, businesses and individuals, in collaboration with a wide range of partners, to help ensure that wildlife trade is not a threat to the conservation of nature.

Our team works in and connects across some of the world’s most critical wildlife trade hotspots to identify and help address both biodiversity conservation and sustainable development challenges and opportunities linked to trade in wild species.
