Partners
Traffic International
TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, works to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature. TRAFFIC was founded in 1976 and is a joint programme of WWF and IUCN - The World Conservation Union.
TRAFFIC has a global network of 96 staff based in 27 countries, who gather data on wildlife trade issues to help regulate markets and keep governments and the public informed; undertake in-depth research and help decision-makers to understand the scope, dynamics and impacts of wildlife trade; assist law-makers in the development and implementation of policies and legislation that ensure trade in wild animals and plants is not a threat to biodiversity; and promote sustainable consumption.
TRAFFIC provides an "early warning" system by obtaining market intelligence on emerging or newly discovered issues and trends that pose trade-related threats to wildlife; focuses on flagship species threatened by trade; supports trade measures that help improve the sustainability of key wildlife resources; and targets wildlife trade hotspots by taking action in priority trade centres and trade routes, where intervention can bring about the greatest conservation impact.
In partnership with Wildlife Alliance, the TRAFFIC network is playing a key role in implementing ASEAN-WEN by providing needs assessments, training and capacity building to assist the ASEAN Member Countries and their trading partners in making this regional wildlife enforcement network a success.
