@TRAFFIC_WLTrade in Europe supporting the @EU_Commission on implementation of wildlife trade regulations
🌍 The European Union is a key hub for global wildlife trade and trafficking.
Over the last two days, we joined #EUMemberStates, the @EU_Commission & @Eurojust, to discuss issues on policy developments, cross-border cooperation and species-specific trade.
Fantastic to see @BonnConvention meeting taking place in Uzbekistan, highlighting conservation in Central Asia. Look out for the launch of the reports on region’s wildlife trade helping set priorities @TRAFFIC_WLTrade @FaunaFloraInt @StateINL @UKBCFs @DefraGovUK @tokubekuulu

Have you heard about the caterpillar fungus? How about ‘the Last of Us’?..less myths and more reality of the complexity of the resource management in discussions with various #Nepal stakeholders today. Serendipitously, check out this case study from @IUCNSULi @TRAFFIC_WLTrade – at Nepal
This week's #SpUDCaseStudies from the #SpeciesUseDatabase is the #HimalayanCaterpillarFungus - an incredible organism, maybe the most expensive fungus in the world. It's vulnerable, its population is declining, and it needs smart management for the communities relying on it.
@UKBCFs call for Innovative project to support biodiversity conservation and reduce poverty - including on enabling sustainable equitable trade - is still out - a great funding opportunity, please apply! @IUCNSULi @ProtectSpecies @TRAFFIC_WLTrade – at Nepal

This is looking like a fantastic publication on wild species use and linkages to conservation in India @IUCN_CEESP @IUCNSULi @TRAFFIC_WLTrade @TRAFFIC_India – at Nepal
Suggesting that using wild resources sustainably is a great way of saving them, might seem counterproductive. Esp in India where spaces/avenues for conservation are shrinking by the second. But we say #useitorloseit - and here's why @routledgebooks routledge.com/Conservation-t… 1/16

Fantastic to see joint work with @FAO showcased @TRAFFIC_WLTrade @IUCNssc @IUCNSULi – at Cambridge, England
Wild plants are found in many products we use daily but often they are not sourced or used sustainably.

Mariupol. Horror important to see documented. #RussiaisATerroistState – at Cambridge, England
Mariupol.
Almost half a million people once lived there. And now there are almost no intact houses left. The 🇷🇺 terrorist state did everything to kill this city. Over 90% of Mariupol is destroyed.
