1 the wildlife trade monitoring network Wildlife trade matters Trade in wild plants and animals is big business, worth billions of dollars and involving hundreds of millions of plants and animals every year. Over-exploitation of animals and plants for trade is the second biggest threat to wild species after habitat destruction. The trade is diverse from live animals and ornamental plants to a vast array of wildlife products from elephant ivory and Tiger skins, to mahogany, tuna and ginseng. People around the world depend on wildlife harvest and trade for food, medicine, shelter and to support their livelihoods. Much of this trade is legal and regulated, but a significant proportion is unmanaged, unreported and/or illegal. What is being done? TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, is working to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature. Our vision? A world in which this trade is managed sustainably conserving biodiversity while continuing to make a significant contribution to human needs. TRAFFIC is a joint programme of WWF and IUCN The World Conservation Union.
2 What is TRAFFIC achieving? Three out of the seven species of marine turtles are now critically endangered. Illegal trade in caviar is pushing some sturgeon species towards extinction. Following a TRAFFIC finding of the extent of the trade, the universal caviar labelling system has been adopted in the European Union to assure consumers that the caviar they buy comes from sustainable sources. Training Customs officers to identify threatened species is key to combatting the illegal wildlife trade. Wildlife trade is a major factor in the decline of these species and countless others. Flagship species such as elephants, Tigers and marine turtles highlight the extent of global trade and conservation issues. TRAFFIC s groundbreaking work at national, regional and global levels on other flagship species includes Snow Leopard; European falcons; African and Asian Rhinoceroses; great apes; sturgeon; and Vicuna. A TRAFFIC-run database (Elephant Trade Information System, ETIS), recording seizures of elephant products around the world identifies where illegal ivory is being sold and its countries of origin. Thanks to our efforts, African countries have recently announced a continent-wide plan to regulate and, where necessary, close down their domestic ivory markets. Timber Illegal trade in timber not only leads to loss of foreign revenue for developing nations, it also destroys vast areas of valuable wildlife habitat, and devastates the livelihoods of local communities. TRAFFIC is at the forefront of action to make the timber trade more sustainable and was instrumental in bringing about new legislation to control the trade in threatened tree species such as ramin through CITES*. Medicinal plants and animals The lives of people all over the developing world depend on wild plants used to treat diseases. TRAFFIC is working to ensure that the use of threatened species such as agarwood is sustainable and is helping the World Health Organization to develop international guidelines and management systems for medicinal plant harvest and trade. TRAFFIC investigations also cover trade in animal products used in traditional medicines from musk deer and Saiga Antelope to critically endangered species such as Tigers and rhinoceroses. The Government of Tanzania is acting on information gathered by TRAFFIC experts to crack down hard on illegal export of hardwoods from coastal forests and miombo woodlands. One in four of all prescriptions dispensed by western pharmacists have ingredients derived from wild plants. WWF / KLEIN & HUBERT promoting sustainable consumption by encouraging consumers of wildlife commodities, at all levels of the trade, to make sure that such use does not threaten wild populations of plants and animals. The front lines in the struggle to address global wildlife trade threats are hotspots such as major border crossings, ports and airports, and busy wildlife markets. TRAFFIC has identified key locations where significant levels of illegal and unsustainable trade occur, such as on the eastern borders of the European Union (one of the world s biggest wildlife consumers), China s border crossings and wildlife markets, or the trade hubs of South-east Asia. In Africa, TRAFFIC is helping authorities to identify illegal wild meat and encourage legal sale from well-managed, sustainable sources. WWF-Canon / Sandra MBANEFO OBIAGO Up to African elephants are illegally killed each year to supply domestic ivory markets; Dagmar Lange collaborating with governments and the private sector to adopt economic policies and practices that ensure wild species are traded within sustainable levels; Vitaly Loyanich Fishermen sorting tuna after the catch. Sulawesi/Indonesia. In the last hundred years, Tiger numbers have declined by 95%; In some areas of the developing world wild animals may be the only available source of meat protein, particularly during times of economic hardship, conflict or famine. Wild meat is the sole source of income for a third of traders in some parts of Africa and South America. We are looking at ways to find a balance between the urgent need to conserve wildlife populations while addressing the needs of people who rely on this resource. Faced with catastrophic declines in fish stocks around the world, TRAFFIC is challenging Regional Fisheries Management Organisations around the world to live up to their mandate to ensure that commercial harvesting of fish on the high seas is sustainable. Regional fisheries management organisations are able to use TRAFFIC research and monitoring data to ensure that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing does not endanger wild stocks of threatened species. We take action to reduce threats to biodiversity through focused action in wildlife trade hotspots.
