TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that interventions need to go beyond regulation and that new and bold strategies are needed urgently to conserve high-value species, such as incentivizing and building capacity within local communities to conserve wildlife.

TL;DR: In this article, a case study on the trade in pangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) in Asia, evaluate the CITES approach to controlling trade and demonstrate significant areas to be addressed.

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework is proposed to guide efforts to effectively combat illegal wildlife trade through actions at community level, based on articulating the net costs and benefits involved in supporting conservation versus supporting IWT and how these incentives are shaped by anti-IWT interventions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review approaches taken to regulate wildlife trade in CITES, and argue that interventions should go beyond regulation and should be multi-faceted, reflecting the complexity of wildlife trade, and that an intensive research effort is needed around six key areas: (1) factors undermining wildlife trade governance at the national level, (2) determining sustainable harvest rates for, and adaptive management of CICTES species, (3) gaining the buy-in of local communities, (4) supply and demand based market interventions, (5) means of quantifying

TL;DR: The illegal wildlife trade (IWT) has increased in profile in recent years as a global policy issue, largely because of its association with declines in prominent internationally trafficked species as discussed by the authors.
