Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

A global coalition of nations vowed to stop the illegal trade in wildlife on 13 February. For the first time wildlife crime was classed as a serious crime. This is welcome news but one key issue was overlooked: cutting demand for products like rhino horn. The declaration emerged from the London Conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade. Classing wildlife crime as serious is key, says John Robinson of the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York.
