WWF, the world conservation organization, and IUCN – the World Conservation Union, have signed a new agreement to guide the future development of TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network.

The new agreement between the two conservation organizations draws on lessons learned from a comprehensive external review of TRAFFIC’s work carried out in 2003 and further strengthens the 25-year partnership between WWF and IUCN to address the diverse conservation and socio-economic challenges and opportunities presented by trade in wild animals and plants.

"The new agreement is an endorsement of TRAFFIC’s strong track record to date and a declaration of WWF and IUCN’s ambition to step up their joint efforts to help address wildlife trade as a key element of biodiversity conservation and human development,” said TRAFFIC Executive Director Steven Broad.

Established in 1976, TRAFFIC is a joint WWF–IUCN programme working to ensure that trade in wild plants and animals is not a threat to the conservation of nature. It operates through seven regional programmes with staff based in 24 countries, co-ordinated by TRAFFIC International, based in Cambridge, UK.
