Every country is touched by wildlife crimes. They impact biodiversity, human health, national security, socio-economic development, and line the pockets of organized criminal groups. Illegal trade in wildlife can lead to the spread of zoonoses, such as SARS-CoV-2 that caused the COVID-19 pandemic. As a quarter of the world’s land is owned or managed by communities, they must be central to global conservation efforts to tackle international wildlife trade.

This webinar was organized by the International Union of Conservation for Nature's Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy. The webinar is in Spanish and English.
