Activity
Field activities
Description and results/achievements of activities:
I personally visited some sites of trading and gathered some data on the issue from others to understand the trends of illegal trading. It is evident that many native species are being sold by changing their names and using code names.
Status
On-going
Describe any challenges encountered in implementing this Resolution and the measures taken
Lack of proper guidelines from the Secretariat is the main constraint in this issue. It is necessary to work as a team taking all the focal points of this resolution at a time. I tried my best to consult with the commission members and external persons working on this field to share the workflow.
Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken
It is found that people are not well aware about the issues. But, the young people and students are very much interested for doing something if they get the chance. We got some mere success to motivate the collectors and traders not to get involved. But, the result is not satisfactory. We need more efforts.
Identify and briefly describe what future actions/activities are planned for the implementation of this Resolution

Description
Networking is essential with all the components. Collective actions are essential to get positive result. All the focal points of this resolution need to act as a team and try to make a network with all other components. We should take into action the online shopping platforms and collaborate with them.
