China private sector commitment building

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)

IFAW conducts activities related to political commitment building and reducing the availability of wildlife products in the marketplace, which includes private sector commitment building – see above section on political commitment building.

TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC works in China with a range of sectors e.g. tourism, postal/courier companies, Traditional Chinese Medicine industry and e-commerce and social media platforms to foster industry pledges and develop solutions to counter the illegal wildlife trade. In particular, TRAFFIC works with Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent—the top three internet service providers in China (BAT) to create an industry-wide alliance to tackle online wildlife trafficking.

United for Wildlife (UfW)

UfW is working with the transportation sector through the UfW Transport Taskforce, which developed and is working to implement the commitments in the UfW Buckingham Palace Declaration. This work is being done in recognition that international freight and passenger transportation is vital to the movement of illegal wildlife products from source through transit and into markets, and that the private sector can assist in reducing such shipments. United for Wildlife, through The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, provides the secretariat for the Transport Taskforce, which includes 75 representatives from across the transport sector covering aviation, maritime, freight forwarders and enforcement. To support action from the transportation sector the Transport Taskforce is providing a mechanism for the collection and analysis of NGO information regarding wildlife trafficking, and sharing of verified information with signatories to the Buckingham Palace Declaration, including through regular alerts pertaining to illicit trafficking methods as well as details of specific trafficking cases. The Transport Taskforce includes a number of Chinese transport companies.
