UNGA event on poaching and illicit wildlife trafficking

Gabon and Germany organized a high-level discussion in the margins of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) held at UN Headquarters in New York on 26 September.


The event was moderated by John E. Scanlon, Secretary-General of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

 

There was wide acceptance that poaching and illegal wildlife trade is a multi-faceted issue – encompassing development, economic, environmental, social and security dimensions, with some noting links to the rule of law and others referencing paragraph 203 from The Future We Want.

 

Several participants noted that illegal wildlife trade threatens the three pillars of the UN – peace and security, sustainable development and human rights.
