The illegal wildlife trade is a prevalent crime that has not been
explored by mainstream criminology, which ignores environmental
harms that remain legal. The emerging field of green criminology
considers harms, but mostly in a speciesist manner. Using two case
studies of wildlife trafficking in Russia Far East (fur and
falcon), this research moves beyond these limits. This is
accomplished by adopting an ecocentric stance that recognizes the
intrinsic value of all species and their right to humane treatment
and a life free from suffering. Additionally, this book presents
three structural harms that are problematic in regards to wildlife
trafficking; danger to the environment; cruelty to animals; and
threat to national and human security through the connection to
corruption, transnational crime, organized criminal networks, and
terrorism. By exploring who is involved, how it occurs, and where
it takes place, distinct typologies are created that provide a
basis for further examination. Solutions are offered to improve the
policies and enforcement that affect wildlife trafficking, as are
recommendations for addressing the supply and demand for illegal
wildlife and wildlife products.
