The partnership, named 鈥楿nited for Wildlife鈥, is a long-term commitment to tackle global threats to the world鈥檚 natural resources, including illegal wildlife trade.
鈥淭he threats to our natural heritage are extensive, but I believe that this collaboration of the best minds in conservation will provide the impetus for a renewed commitment and action to protect endangered species and habitats for future generations,鈥 says His Royal Highness, The Duke of Cambridge. 鈥淎t the root of the illegal wildlife trade, for example, is the demand for products that require the deaths of tens of thousands of these animals every year, pushing them further towards extinction. We must work together to prevent this catastrophe and allow our children the opportunity to experience wildlife in its many beautiful and varied forms.鈥
The collaboration鈥檚 initial work will focus on the illegal wildlife trade. The Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network TRAFFIC, a joint programme of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 and WWF, is currently preparing a report for the partnership on the overall state of illegal wildlife trade, and options for bringing it under control. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, through its Species Survival Commission (SSC), will bring to the partnership its expert knowledge on species in relation to wildlife trade. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 is a key player in driving changes in legislation and implementing conservation programmes to secure the future for heavily traded species such as Elephants, Rhinoceros and Pangolins.
鈥淲e feel honoured to have the opportunity to work with His Royal Highness on what is possibly the most serious threat that some of our planet鈥檚 rarest species face today,鈥 says Simon Stuart, Chair of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC. 鈥淲e鈥檙e currently witnessing an unprecedented rise in illegal wildlife trade, with its value running into hundreds of millions of dollars. Wildlife trafficking also has serious security, economic, political and ecological ramifications. We look forward to sharing our expertise on this burning issue.鈥
鈥楿nited for Wildlife鈥 also aims to raise awareness of conservation crises, focussing particularly on engaging the next generation of conservation leaders. This will include providing career support to young professionals around the world, which will be backed by 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 Commission on Education and Communication (CEC).
鈥淔or 21st century conservation to succeed, we need the young generation 鈥 their new thinking, new energy and new ways to communicate,鈥 says Juliane Zeidler, Chair of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 CEC. 鈥淔or us, engaging a new generation in a direly-needed renewed conservation effort is of great value.鈥
