Wildlife, biodiversity and trade
Environment and Development Economics, 1997This article develops a model of wild-resource exploitation that includes both the standard bioeconomic properties of growth and harvesting and a species-area relationship linked to habitat conversion. The model is developed for both a closed and an open economy.

Abstract This chapter focuses on the challenge of wildlife trade in biodiversity conservation. Reducing the undesirable aspects of the wildlife trade boils down to reducing their unsustainable supply or demand. That an aspect of wildlife trade is legal does not guarantee that it is sustainable, nor sufficiently safeguards animals ...

Impacts of wildlife trade on terrestrial biodiversity
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021The wildlife trade is worth billions of dollars annually and affects most major taxonomic groups. Despite this, a global understanding of the trade's impacts on species populations is lacking. We performed a quantitative meta-analysis of the wildlife trade that synthesized 506 species-level effect sizes from 31 studies, estimating trade-driven declines

Science, 2009K. F. Smith et al. 's Policy Forum (“Reducing the risks of the wildlife trade,” 1 May, p. [594][1]) aptly proposes the need for a priori restrictions to be placed on newly traded wildlife species to predetermine their environmental, health, and economic impacts.

This report provides data on the logistics, scope, and economics of the illegal trade in wildlife in Vietnam. It analyses the main reasons for the rapid growth in this trade and highlights key failures in the country's attempts to control it. This report recommends that the government should strengthen the capacity of the agencies responsible for ...

Introduction Over the past two decades the interrelationship between multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) containing trade-related environmental measures (TREMs) and trade agreements has received considerable attention. The purpose of this chapter is not to revisit this wider, and well-documented, ‘trade and environment debate’, but rather to

Infectious Diseases and the Illegal Wildlife Trade
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008We provide a compilation of pathogens directly associated with illegally traded wildlife. We find that these pathogens span the gamut of taxonomic origins, affect most vertebrate taxa, and can have negative consequences for human and animal health and the global economy.
