Wildlife Trafficking

Animal trafficking includes the unlawful poaching, smuggling, transportation and distribution of the animals and the products and derivatives obtained from them for commercial purposes for human use. The whole market management of trafficking is controlled and regulated both nationally and internationally. TRAFFIC, the World Wildlife federation (WWF), the global conservation organization and IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, established in 1976, works closely with various agencies to help study, monitor and influence action to curb illegal wildlife trade.
