It's #WorldRainforestDay!
New EU forestry laws will revolutionise how we source everyday products like timber, coffee, cocoa and rubber, giving greater protection to forests from deforestation & degradation.

Very proud to have contributed to elevating Environmental Crime as a priority to be addressed by the Congo Basin Forest Partnership. We need all actors on board to address the complexities of crimes such as wildlife trafficking. @cbfp_pfbc@TRAFFIC_WLTrade@UNODC@INTERPOL_EC 👏
Forest and wildlife conservation in the Congo Basin was in focus of last week’s @cbfp_pfbc meeting.
UNODC and @TRAFFIC_WLTrade led a workshop on fighting wildlife crime, presenting recommendations on minimum standard norms and eco-security at the closing plenary. #MoP20
🌳 Today we're at the #CongoBasin Forest Partnership meeting! This vital rainforest, home to rare animals like Okapi and Forest Elephants, faces threats from poaching, logging, and trafficking.
Over the next two days, we’re running a workshop with @UNODC on #EnvironmentalCrime

📢 Big news! @Europarl_EN just passed a new law that makes harming the environment a crime! 👏
From illegal logging to habitat destruction, this move helps to harmonise sanctions across the EU and supports law enforcers to combat eco-crimes effectively. https://t.co/OS1fl0Ui7j
Missed our Central Asia trade reports?🌍
From leeches to big cats, falcons to fish—that's just a glimpse of the wildlife traded across regional borders.
As #NatureKnowsNoBorders, our goal is to bolster cross-border cooperation to tackle trafficking. 🔗https://t.co/rJr3PAYKv8

Thanks to @UKMisBrussels for gathering experts contributing to solutions enhancing animal, human & environmental health! @TRAFFIC_WLTrade is uniquely placed to keep supporting sustainable wild plants trade and working with partners to prevent zoonotic risks in wild species trade.
🧵Thanks to everyone who joined us at the #OneHealthFair23 tonight.
Attendees experienced One Health solutions & science in an interactive reception at the UK Residence in Brussels.
Exhibits included:
🌳 time travel to 2050 via VR to experience future carbon-levels in forests
Time for action! The EU needs to fight back against environmental crimes.
🚩Stronger sanctions are critical to protect our planet.
It's not too late for EU Member States to rise up to the challenge and adopt an ambitious Environmental Crime Directive!
COMIFAC et TRAFFIC réévaluent à Douala le partenariat en vue de capitaliser les enjeux actuels des secteurs forêts, faune et environnement (de façon globale) dans les priorités respectives des deux institutions pour une mise en œuvre collégiale et synergique.
#COMIFAC- #TRAFFIC: L’ #UE a un rôle important à jouer dans la lutte contre le trafic d'espèces sauvages, étant donné que l’ #Europe compte actuellement parmi les marchés de destination et sert de plaque tournante pour le transit vers d’autres régions.
Financial institutions can stay ahead of the curve and protect the well-being of people and the environment by properly assessing and mitigating sustainability risks.
But this will only be possible if we include them in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
We commend @EU_ENV on their revised and ambitious Action Plan #ForNature 👏 now it is up to the EU Parliament and Member States to endorse and implement its actions effectively.

Everyday foods and cosmetics use wild plants. Many of these are threatened with extinction and their harvest can damage the environment and local populations. Labels such as @fairwild can help you make the right choices. See our @TRAFFIC_WLTrade report 👇https://t.co/kirtcXNc5T
