This unprecedented coalition, made up of environmental, zoo and
animal protection organizations as well as the traditional Chinese
medicine community, has come together to speak with one voice in calling
for an end to trade in tiger parts and products through increased
intelligence-led law enforcement and strengthening existing tiger-trade
bans. Furthermore, the coalition joins leaders of the international
traditional Chinese medicine industry in asking China to make its
successful 14-year tiger-trade ban permanent.
The aim of the coalition is to coordinate research, communications
and awareness-raising efforts in order to provide an organized response
to the organized crime that sustains illegal tiger trade and endangers
all wild tigers. www.endtigertrade.org
