In a groundbreaking move to modernize its trade processes and address the challenges of illegal trade, Papua New Guinea (PNG) is embarking on a journey to implement the UN Trade and Development's (UNCTAD) innovative eCITES system.
This advanced automated technology aims to simplify the management of legal trade while enhancing efforts to protect biodiversity and combat illegal wildlife trafficking.
The development of eCITES is governed by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the CITES Secretariat and the UN Trade and Development. The system is structured around the three core pillars of the eCITES Implementation Framework, ensuring effective enforcement and traceability of wildlife trade.
