Northumberland Wildlife Trust has been made aware of the suspected illegal release and subsequent capture of two lynx in the Cairngorms National Park. We are relieved to hear that the animals have been quickly caught and are being cared for. Reintroduction of any species is a delicate process requiring careful planning and the acceptance of local communities. This is important for the welfare of the animals involved as well as the chances of establishing a healthy population. As a partner in the Missing Lynx Project, we would support a legal lynx reintroduction if there is both an area in Britain where lynx can live, and if local people are accepting of the animal back in the landscape. Bringing lost species back and rebuilding our ecosystems is a vital part of tackling the nature crisis our country is facing, and the reintroduction of lynx could be part of this solution.

This exemplifies the aviation industry's role in combatting illegal wildlife trafficking by means of repatriation and rehoming of seized wildlife. The message is clear and not new that our industry would take bigger strides in assisting law enforcement from wildlife interception to repatriation.

"An unprecedented feat for the fight against illegal wildlife trade" – The Prince of Wales We've recently been working with some of our brilliant global partners to support one of the largest wildlife repatriations ever. Following the seizure of almost 1000 endangered lemurs and tortoises in Thailand, our partners have been working tirelessly to get these animals safely back home 🐢 These situations are incredibly complex and costly but by working together across multiple organisations and geographies, these amazing animals have successfully made it back to Madagascar, where they belong. Prince William commented, "We must look to this collaborative model for future operations to ensure we are acting swiftly and safely to remove animals from the hands of criminals and return them to their natural habitats.” This wouldn't have been possible without our partners: UNODC, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Wildlife Justice Commission, Qatar Airways Cargo, Airlink See more on the story below ⬇️

Strengthening Wildlife Protection in India In 2022, India enhanced its Wildlife Protection Act, significantly bolstering measures to safeguard its diverse fauna. Key changes include streamlining protection schedules, increasing penalties for wildlife crimes, and aligning closer with international CITES standards. Notably, the amendment offers robust protection for critically endangered species and intensifies penalties for offenses, establishing stronger deterrents against wildlife trafficking. This amendment marks a pivotal step in India's commitment to conserving its ecological heritage. #WildlifeConservation #SustainableIndia #Earthlings

🐀 🔍 Little sleuths for #wildlife protection: In Tanzania, together with our partner APOPO , we are training African giant pouched rats to detect illegally traded wildlife products. Although poaching is prohibited, wild animals are still being hunted. The existing demand for wildlife products threatens the animals and their habitats. After the rats have already been successfully used to detect explosives and diagnose tuberculosis, they will now also help in the fight against wildlife crime.

Wildlife Justice Commission update Our collaboration with law enforcement partners has resulted in significant breakthroughs in Nigeria and Thailand. In Nigeria, the Wildlife Justice Commission, in conjunction with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), successfully apprehended two major wildlife traffickers linked to the seizure of 1.58 tonnes of ivory tusks in Vietnam. This swift action within 6 weeks of the Vietnamese seizure showcases Nigeria's dedication to combatting wildlife trafficking effectively. In Thailand, a joint operation on 1 May led to the arrest of six suspects and the seizure of over a thousand radiated tortoises and lemurs. Subsequent arrests in Madagascar highlighted the transnational smuggling network involved in trafficking endangered species, emphasizing the severity of wildlife trafficking on these animals. These operations, supported by international partners like the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, aim to dismantle organized wildlife trafficking networks spanning continents. The success of these endeavors underscores the importance of global cooperation in combating wildlife crimes. Learn more about these operations and our ongoing efforts to protect endangered species.
