Illegal wildlife trade or wildlife trafficking is a global threat to all kinds of species, not just charismatic megafauna or wildlife in Africa and Asia. This paper presents the findings of an investigation of the illegal trade in native and non-native wildlife and wildlife products between the European Union and Mexico. Using literature analysis, secondary trade data and expert interviews, this study explores the nature and extent of wildlife trafficking between these two regions, including the involvement of organised crime within an eco-global criminological framework. This is important for the regions studied and for the global community more generally, as wildlife trafficking is contributing not only to species extinction, but also to instability, violence and unhealthy physical environments for humans.

欧盟和墨西哥之间的野生动物贩运

非法野生动物贸易或野生动物贩运对所有种类的物种构成全球威胁，而不仅仅是非洲和亚洲具有魅力的巨型动物群或野生动物。本文介绍了欧盟和墨西哥之间对本地和非本地野生动物和野生动物产品非法贸易的调查结果。本研究利用文献分析、二手贸易数据和专家访谈，探讨了这两个地区之间野生动物贩运的性质和范围，包括有组织犯罪在生态全球犯罪学框架内的参与。这对于所研究的地区和更广泛的全球社会来说都很重要，因为野生动物贩运不仅会导致物种灭绝，还会导致人类的不稳定、暴力和不健康的物理环境。
