Oxford Martin Programme on Illegal Wildlife Trade
Mission statement
Our work addresses specific and acute real-world issues, focused on wildlife product sales in Asia with an emphasis on luxury and medicinal uses. We are looking to change consumer behaviour on the ground in collaboration with wildlife conservation practitioners, particularly through establishing a global Wildlife Trade hub which will exchange knowledge and support one another within the broader field.
