Unruffling the global feather trade: a comparative analysis of CITES and LEMIS records of feathers and bird skins

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, bird feathers (class: Aves) were harvested from wild populations and sold globally in enormous quantities to meet the rising demand of the fashion industry. Although many laws now prevent similar widescale harvest, there is a paucity of studies on the trade that has continued to occur since the 20th century.
