Emirates SkyCargo strengthens efforts against illegal wildlife trade

Emirates SkyCargo reaffirms its commitment to combating illegal wildlife trade with policies enforced in banning the transport of trafficked wildlife, hunting trophies, and endangered animal products and trained over 30,000 staff to recognise and report illegal shipments. Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President of Emirates SkyCargo, said, “Every day, Emirates SkyCargo supports global supply chains, connecting businesses with suppliers and customers in over 145 destinations worldwide. But, the illegal wildlife trade is one supply chain we will not facilitate – in fact, we proudly disrupt it. By refusing to carry trafficked wildlife, the land, air and sea logistics network is uniquely positioned to stop the illicit trade in its tracks. From education and awareness programmes for our staff and customers to updating our operational protocols in line with the latest guidance from welfare organisations and governments, we will continue working to keep wildlife wild.”
