On Wednesday, February 12, 2014, His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge arrived at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) to participate in the International Wildlife Trade Symposium.

According to the official website for the ZSL, today’s gathering focused on:

“…the impacts of international wildlife trafficking; the most recent evidence on species affected, global security issues, transnational crime and links with poverty [was] presented. 

The main focus of the symposium, however, was solutions. Evidence underlying solutions and a vision for how they can be implemented were discussed. The symposium provided a forum for sharing experiences from those involved in fighting wildlife crime as well as those active in other, related fields that  provided an insight in combating wildlife trafficking.”
