In this book the author examines the illegal wildlife trade from
multiple perspectives: the historical context, the impact on the
environment, the scope of the problem internationally, the
sociocultural demand for illegal products, the legal efforts to
combat it, and several case studies from inside the trade. The
illegal wildlife trade has become a global criminal enterprise,
following in the footsteps of drugs and weapons. Beyond the
environmental impact, financial profits from the illegal wildlife
trade often fund organized crime groups and violent gangs that
threaten public safety and security in myriad ways. This innovative
volume covers several key questions surrounding the wildlife trade:
why is there a demand for illegal wildlife products, which actors
are involved in the trade, how is the business organized, and what
are the harmful consequences. The author performed ethnographic
fieldwork in three key markets: Russia, Morocco, and China, and has
constructed a detailed picture of how the wildlife trade operates
in these areas. Conversations with informants directly involved in
the illegal business ensure unique insights into this lively black
market. In the course of his journey the author follows the route
of the illegal wildlife trade from poor poaching areas to rich
business districts where corrupt officials, legally registered
companies, wildlife farms and sophisticated criminal organizations
all have a share. A fascinating look inside the world of poachers,
smugglers and traders.
