Countering illegal wildlife trade

The transportation and logistics sector is the backbone of global trade and provides essential services we all benefit from. Unfortunately freight forwarders, logistics companies, land, air and sea carriers, including passenger airlines, are increasingly being abused by traffickers in wild animals and plants and their products, who heavily rely on them to smuggle illicit goods from sources to market destinations.

key findings

The sector can therefore play a critical role in being the eyes and the ears of enforcement agencies, helping identify and strengthen key risk points in the supply chain, complementing the suite of solutions of governments and the international community.

The 1st International Consultative Workshop Countering Illegal Wildlife Trade: Collaborative Actions along Transportation and Supply Chains brought together over 50 representatives from across the transportation and logistics sector
including airlines, couriers and transport associations, Customs officials, supply chain experts, wildlife trade experts, government officials and inter-governmental organizations from around the globe.

By sharing concerns and challenging assumptions, the diverse group of stakeholders worked collaboratively to identify practical and costeffective
solutions to deter wildlife smuggling activities while strengthening supply chains and corporate policies.

The workshop was a highly participatory event, involving situational analyses, sharing, peer feedback and distillation of priority actions.
