 We have over the past few years been experiencing a surge in the illegal trade in wildlife. It is happening at an industrial scale and it's being driven by transnational organised criminal gangs. Now we have to be just as organised as these gangs if we are going to effectively combat this illegal trade. And one of the great initiatives that was launched five years ago almost to the day was the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime known as ICWIC. This is a consortium that brings together the CITES secretariat Interpol, UN Office of Drugs and Crime, the world customs organisation and the World Bank to provide coordinated support to countries at a national level and a regional level to combat this illegal trade. And we are demonstrating through what we are doing at an international level what would we would like to see happen at a national level inside each country. The good cooperation between the convention, police, customs, the justice system and the finance and bodies. If we can do that internationally, we can do it regionally, we can do it nationally, we will win this fight.
