Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
The policy discourse on IWT is dominated by a focus on enforcement and demand reduction. This resolution is challenged in some respects by implementation of IUCN Resolution 011, and implementation of that resolution by IUCN does not appear to be based on engagement of those communities in combating IWT.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
A community voice event in advance of the London Conference on IWT.
Short films highlighting community perspectives on illegal wildlife trade and what effective measures to combat it would be.
