Poaching American Security: Impacts of Illegal Wildlife Trade
Washington, DC, Mar 5, 2008
The U.S. House Natural Resources Committee held a hearing on March 5 to investigate the impact of illegal trade in wildlife on international security and stability. The hearing is the result of months of consultation among the U.S. State Department, Interpol, CITES, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and leading conservation organizations.
CAWT partners seek to address the growing threats to wildlife from poaching and illegal trade, working individually and jointly toward achieving the Coalition's goals, with each partner acting where it can contribute most effectively.
