TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC is a leading international non-governmental organization dedicated to ensuring the legal and sustainable trade in wild plants and animals, ultimately benefiting both the planet and its people. For 50 years, TRAFFIC has been a trusted advisor and partner to governments, businesses, law enforcement, and communities globally, tackling the complex challenges of illegal wildlife trade. Our work focuses on understanding and influencing the trade in wild species from source to destination, promoting policies and practices that safeguard biodiversity and support sustainable development.

We align with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Sustainable Development Goals, striving to reduce illegal trade and foster legal, sustainable trade that contributes to a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature. TRAFFIC’s strategic priorities are centered around key species and landscapes, critical thematic issues, and a commitment to capacity building and knowledge sharing, driving systemic change towards a future where wildlife trade supports conservation and prosperity.
