The fashion industry is one of the largest markets for illegal wildlife products. This study examined US luxury fashion-related wildlife seizures made between 2003 and 2013 to better guide detection, enforcement, and policy. The findings of this study indicate that the number of incidents has increased over the 11-year period, while the number of associated items seized has decreased over this time. Of these seizures, nearly 88% were produced goods. A small proportion of genera made up the majority of seizures, with reptiles in particular accounting for 84% of incidents. Over half of all wildlife was wild-caught and was exported from eight countries. Based on these findings, it is suggested that policy be enacted relating specifically to the use of exotic leathers and furs, and that situational crime prevention alongside commitments to sustainability from fashion brands be used to reduce illegal imports and improve industry sustainability.

美国的奢侈时尚野生动物违禁品。

时装业是非法野生动物制品的最大市场之一。本研究调查了 2003 年至 2013 年间美国缉获的与奢侈品时尚相关的野生动物，以更好地指导侦查、执法和政策制定。这项研究的结果表明，事件数量在 11 年期间有所增加，而在此期间缉获的相关物品数量有所减少。在这些缉获物中，近 88% 是制成品。一小部分属占了大部分缉获量，尤其是爬行动物占事件的 84%。超过一半的野生动物是野外捕获的，并从八个国家出口。根据这些调查结果，建议制定专门针对异国皮革和毛皮使用的政策，
