Yes, we need to scale up existing efforts to regulate #wildlife trade & tackle wildlife crime, while we take steps to transform the international legal framework to make it fit for purpose post-COVID-19, inc. a new international agreement on wildlife crime bit.ly/3jT3xNH

And equally important: drastically reduce meat-eating since the beef & soybean industries are the leading reasons humans are destroying habitats & encroaching ever more into wildlife habitats. If we eat less meat, we can leave habitats alone & give land back to nature for animals

States should simultaneously implement stringent policies that would regulate wildlife exploitation (including consumption). Concerted efforts from different countries is necessary.
