Wildlife Trade

Addressing illegal & unsustainable #wildlife trade through interdisciplinary, collaborative #research & knowledge exchange @oxmartinschool @ICCS_updates

I often hear the ivory trade 🐘 in Japan 🇯🇵 used as an example of how demand reduction efforts can turn things around but what does the evidence say? 🤓

Read our thoughts below based on a long time coming paper in @ConservandSoc led by @LauraThoWal!

The papers from one of our core #WildlifeTrade case studies are now out - showing the value of an interdisciplinary approach and international collaborative team when studying complex trade issues

[Amy Hinsley @orchiddelirium]

For years, @IWTnet, @IUCNssc Sun Yat Sen Uni, China's NFGA & others have been researching bear bile markets in China, to see how availability of farmed, wild, & synthetic bile may affect consumption. Here's what we found...(1/7) https://t.co/w8zjgVnk0C https://t.co/x5XrY9LNPq

@kmrpaudel et Al study says wildlife reporting practices create ‘feedback loops’ that may reinforce biases and can further entrench official responses to wildlife crime. My new story for @mongabay

Congrats to CLP alumni @kmrpaudel & @verissimodiogo who have co-authored this recent #OpenAccess paper on illegal #wildlifetrade in #Nepal 👏

The study shows how media reports cannot be solely relied upon to inform #conservation decision-making

Excited to share my latest paper with @orchiddelirium @verissimodiogo @EJMilnerGulland on evaluating the reliability of media reports for gathering information about illegal wildlife trade seizures, published in @thePeerJ. 1/9

This fills a really important gap in our knowledge and understanding of #IWT @IWTnet

New funding initiative from the US Government aimed at combatting wildlife trafficking! Looking for robust #research and conservation projects that build & use #evidence!

Globally, hundreds of thousands of rangers patrol 1000s of PAs daily. How can we maximize their efforts and data to minimise threats to biodiversity? See our uploaded talks (thanks speakers!) & join the live discussion at ICCB 2021 :) @SCB_Africa @ICCS_updates @Rohit_wildlife

So cool to see saiga horns & our paper featured on @ConservationSP’s front cover! Our study found young adults in Singapore cared more about price & convenience than any one type of ‘cooling water’ inc ones made with saiga horn https://t.co/chMFt1V6zM

[Oxford Biology @OxfordBiology]

"There is no one-size-fits-all solution for detecting wildlife trading online. Our study establishes a framework for thinking about how different sectors of illicit or harmful activity can be understood & moderated more effectively," said @orchiddelirium.

Wildlife trafficking in digital marketplaces is rampant and dangerous to the future of our planet.

Today at 10AM ET | 3PM UTC, tune in for a Q&A with @StopFraud to learn how #whistleblowers, #BigTech, and YOU can help #ActForAnimals.

What drives consumers’ choice of drinks made with endangered saiga antelope horn versus alternatives? Using a labelled choice experiment we found respondents most cared about *lower prices & nearby stores* rather than product! https://t.co/4ofIgphXdf (1/2)

Hello #AcademicTwitter Do you have any suggestions to learn #WildlifeTrade Regulations and Enforcement?
I luckily came across this book but probably need to find more recent REVIEW articles and/or books.
