State of Knowledge on Impacts of Illegal Wildlife Trade on National Economies in Southern Africa
A large-scale state of knowledge review was carried out to understand what data and information is available on Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) in southern Africa, its causes and impacts on societies and national economies. The literature review showed that, although a lot of knowledge has been accumulated on IWT in southern Africa, much effort is needed in generating further quantitative knowledge necessary to carry out economic assessments of IWT in different countries in the region. Yet, some countries and institutions collect valuable information and data which would need to be compiled and integrated at national and regional level.
