Wildlife Trade

We will be evaluating the UK’s regulation of the trade of wildlife, including:
a) Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora 1975 (“CITES”) and the Wildlife Trade Regulations (the”WTR”): The need for the UK to retain the WTR post expiration of the Brexit transition period and to implement the EU Action Plan Against Wildlife Trafficking;
b) Fur Trade: Merits of the UK adopting domestic fur trade bans for all fur species beyond the current EU regime;
c) Implementation of the Ivory Act
