ABOUT THE COALITION

Our Approach

 

Shutting down global online illegal wildlife trade requires an integrated, international solution. WWF, TRAFFIC and IFAW are collaborating with companies across continents to unite the industry and maximize impact for reducing wildlife trafficking online.  

The Coalition is convening dialogues to share lessons learned and best practices. As wildlife experts, WWF, TRAFFIC and IFAW also provide companies with updated global and regional trade trend data, training materials, policy guidance and educational information for users to help spot illegal products.

 
 
 
 

To meet this ambitious target, Coalition members agree to a multifaceted approach, acknowledging that there is no one solution to shutting down online trade routes for wildlife cyber-criminals.
