The European Union is a leading importer of wildlife products, with a legal trade valued in billions, while illegal trafficking poses significant sustainability threats. Despite substantial legal frameworks like the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations and ongoing efforts from the European Commission, illegal trade persists due to high black market prices and insufficient political awareness. A proposed action plan aims to strengthen the EU's response to wildlife crime. Addressing demand in consuming countries is crucial for long-term success in combating illegal wildlife trade.
