Fighting Illicit Wildlife Trafficking: A Consultation With Governments World Wildlife Fund and Dalberg Illicit Wildlife Trafficking Based on the findings from this study, WWF and its global wildlife trade programme, TRAFFIC, urge governments to acknowledge that the current global approach to fighting illicit wildlife trafficking is failing because governments do not give the issue high enough priority and have not succeeded in implementing an effective response – at either a national or an international level. The absence of an effective response hinders social and economic development, including potential economic loss for governments, and has direct consequences on the environment as well as national and international security.
