1 THE UNREGULATED AND INFORMAL TRADE IN WILDLIFE: IMPLICATIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY AND HEALTH William B. Karesh Kristine Smith Marianne Asmüssen OIE Global Conference on Wildlife: Animal Health and Biodiversity Preparing for the Future February

2 A multi billion dollar trade industry in animal and plant products Encompasses a range of items from live animals to wildlife products Global & regional components Largely unsustainable Global Wildlife Trade D. Collins/WCS

3 World Parrot Trust

4 Disease Emergence & Wildlife Trade Crowded stressful conditions Immune compromised animals Mixing of different species from various locations around the world Close contact between humans/domestic animals/wildlife M. Gilbert/WCS

5 Rate of Globalization is increasing and with it, the spread of disease Global Aviation Network Hufnagel, L. et al. (2004) PNAS

8 Emerging Infectious Diseases 26% of human deaths are caused by infectious disease globally Over 70% of emerging zoonoses arise from interactions with wildlife

9 SIV/HIV AIDS HIV 1 is derived from the exposure to SIV strain of chimpanzees, likely from consumption of bushmeat. HIV 2, so far only in west Africa, is derived from the SIV strain found in sooty mangabeys. 35 different species of African nonhuman primates harbor lentivirus infections.

10 Multiple Ebola Virus Transmission Events and Rapid Decline of Central African Wildlife LeRoy, et al., SCIENCE, Jan. 16, 2004

11 SARS Coronavirus Near pandemic ( ): 8,096 known cases and 774 deaths (case fatality rate of 9.6%); Within weeks spread from China to 37 countries around the world. Human infections associated with trade of civet cats, origin traced back to bats. Low to zero prevalence in wild farm civets but 80% prevalence in wild market civets.

13 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza HPAI human outbreaks associated with animal strains (1918 H1N1 Spanish flu, 1957 H2N2 Asian flu, 1968 H3N2 Hong Kong flu) Majority of spread of HPAI H5N1 has occurred through domestic poultry trade HPAI H5N1 virus has been isolated from two mountain hawk eagles illegally imported to Belgium from Thailand; from passerines shipped from east Asia to the UK; and in market wildlife from Hong Kong to Pakistan

14 Monkeypox Shipment of animals from Ghana to Texas on April 9, 2003 as probable introduction into the US, containing approx. 800 small mammals of nine species 72 persons affected in US outbreak, no deaths 10% fatality rate in Africa Animal human and human human tx

15 In 1975, U.S. FDA banned the trade of small turtles. This has prevented an estimated 100,000 cases of salmonellosis each year in children. Salmonella 50% salmonella positive rate in markets in Indonesia A. Yang/WCS

16 Wildlife Trade: Major Threat to Biodiversity

17 Control of Wildlife Trade 175 Countries 5,108 animal species and 28,977 plant species

18 Control of Wildlife Trade 175 Countries 87% report illegal trade

19 Estimates of Illegal Wildlife Trade ANNUAL ILLEGAL TRADE IMPORT FIGURES US$ 20 billion

20 Estimates of Illegal Wildlife Trade ANNUAL ILLEGAL TRADE IMPORT FIGURES US$ 20 billion

21 How many individual animals are involved in Illegal wildlife trade? LITERATURE ~2,300 ~4,400

22 How many individual animals are involved in Illegal wildlife trade? Data quality None Low Medium High

23 How many individual animals are involved in Illegal wildlife trade? 13 million

24 How many individual animals are involved in Illegal wildlife trade? 69% 23% 8%

25 What is the effect of Illegal Wildlife Trade on wild populations? AVERAGE DECREASE OF POPULATION SIZE OF 60 70%

26 How big of a problem is IWT globally? ~87%

36 Increasing Threat Markets Roads

37 Domestic illegal trade is at least as important as international trade.

38 What is happening in the United States?

39 United States Role in Wildlife Trade The United States is one of the largest consumers of wildlife products (USFWS). The importation of wildlife into the U.S. increased 62% within a decade from , with declared shipments alone escalating from approximately 74,500 to nearly 120,000 per year. Between , U.S. records reflect imports > one billion individual animals and an additional 5 million kilograms of animals into the United States.

40 Challenges of wildlife import regulation Enormous quantity of legal and illegal imports Agencies with different mandates (US Example): CDC regulates taxa deemed of risk to public health USDA taxa deemed of risk to agricultural industry USFWS CITES or injurious species Record keeping challenges No international database for wildlife trade Species identification of wildlife products is difficult Additional agency support is needed

41 Wildlife Trade in Asia

42 Global numbers 1 10 million (390 spp) Venezuela

43 How many individual animals are involved in illegal wildlife trade? 1 10 million 13 million

44 Wildlife Population declines Hunting Brown headed Spider Monkey Pet Trade Roti Island snake necked turtle
