We are busy at work finalising our guide that explains the diverse types of harm caused by illegal wildlife trade (IWT), and how pioneering civil lawsuits can be developed to help provide remedies.
Civil lawsuits represent a breakthrough in environmental law, and a novelty among efforts to tackle illegal trade. Unlike traditional approaches that focus on punishing perpetrators of ITW this strategy refocuses efforts onto remedying the harm caused by IWT. The guide will explain how these lawsuits can be developed, addressing technical and legal challenges, in order to support biodiversity conservation and strengthen access to justice.
