PHL draws up steps vs trafficking of endangered species
The Philippines last week proposed a three-step strategy to combat the trafficking of endangered species, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced Wednesday. Philippine Ambassador to Thailand Linglingay Lacanlale made the call at the launching of Asiaâs Regional Response to Endangered Species Trafficking (ARREST) in Bangkok last July 22, the DFA said. Lacanlale said that as the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-Wildlife Enforcement Network (ASEAN-WEN), the Philippines outlined the following steps against trafficking of endangered species:
- To continue exploring mechanisms to strengthen cooperation and coordination in the region;
- To continue raising the profile of ASEAN-WEN by talking about its achievements at every appropriate forum; and
- To continue building partnerships and creating linkages with countries outside Southeast Asia in as much as wildlife trafficking is transnational in character that requires joint concerted action by governments worldwide.
