IMO's Chris Trelawny is at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) headquarters in Gland, Switzerland to participate in the second meeting (18 May) of the United for Wildlife task force, which is working with the transport industry to examine the sector’s ability to understand and break the chain between suppliers and consumers of illegal wildlife products. IMO partnered with the World Customs Organization (WCO) to give a presentation on the IMO/WCO framework for risk assessment in the context of security threats, and to consider ways in which the experience gained from IMO's maritime security and counter-piracy strategies could be applied to the suppression of the illegal wildlife trade. The meeting was attended by HRH the Duke of Cambridge and was chaired by Mr. William Hague, the former UK Foreign Secretary.
