Wildlife Trafficking Alliance
The Wildlife Trafficking Alliance (WTA) is a coalition of more than 90 leading companies, non-profit organizations, and AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums working together to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the illegal trade of wildlife and wildlife products. WTA works with
a variety of partners
whose active engagement is essential to the success of the WTA goals.
What We Do
The Wildlife Trafficking Alliance coordinates efforts to:
Reduce consumer demand for illegally traded wildlife and wildlife products;
Advance laws, regulations, and policies that reduce illegal wildlife trade; and
Provide a cooperative and coordinated response protocol for the care and welfare of wildlife confiscated from illegal trade.
The Problem
Wildlife trafficking is an international crisis that has devastating impacts to both animals and humans. Wildlife trafficking, which is fueled by an unprecedented demand for wildlife and wildlife products, is a significant threat to wildlife, driving many threatened and endangered animal species to the brink of extinction. Wildlife experts have confirmed that if we don’t act quickly, trafficking will wipe out many endangered species in our lifetime. Furthermore, wildlife trafficking poses risks to human health and welfare, damages the global economy, and fuels transnational criminal networks and government corruption.
