Emirates partnered with The Donkey Sanctuary to raise awareness about the dangers of ferrying donkey skins via air cargo. Together, they have developed the ‘Aviation Risk and Threat Assessment’ operational guide, which underscores the risks associated with the skin trade and its links to serious criminal activities, Robert Fordree, Senior Vice President, Cargo Operations Worldwide, Emirates SkyCargo. “We are proud to bring our expertise in air logistics and the fight against illegal wildlife trafficking in preparing these standards. “In collaboration with The Donkey Sanctuary, we have highlighted some of the ways rotten apples can exploit the logistics network to transport illicit goods, while suggesting operational initiatives that can be implemented across the aviation ecosystem to stop trafficking in its tracks. Our hope is that by working with likeminded partners, we can protect the world’s biodiversity for generations to come,” a release stated.
