IWT estimated to be worth $19 billion per year

Transnational criminal gangs are exploiting the

increasingly interconnected air transport system to trade

wildlife illegally

Evidence indicates airlines are unknowingly being used

by traffickers to transport these illegal products (alive and

dead)

Responsibility remains with enforcement agencies but

airlines can act as additional source of intelligence

Liaise with International Organizations and Associations

as well as strong cooperation with CITES

Provide recommendation to the LAPB on how to address

awareness of Illegal Wildlife Trade in the LAR
