Risk Regulation And Management Against Illegal Wildlife Trade: Europe And America, Olonyi Bosire
Risk Regulation And Management Against Illegal Wildlife Trade: Europe And America, Olonyi Bosire
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
Introduction
The source or initial crime in the illegal wildlife trade chain is mostly committed beyond the shores of North America and Europe.

This helps explain the wide valuation of illegal wildlife trade currently estimated by the Global Environment Facility (“GEF”) as ranging between 7 and 23 billion dollars per annum.
