Illegal Transnational Trading of Biodiversity and Wildlife Materials from Sri Lanka and the Countermeasures

Trafficking of biodiversity materials is a major threat to the earth’s ecological balance and Sri Lanka is no exception. This article describes the protocol under the Convention on Biodiversity in the context of illicit trade in biodiversity and wildlife materials trade products across Sri Lanka during the period of 1992–2009. It highlights the methods that can be effective to counter-attack and prevent illegal transnational trading and discusses how the region can approach a coordinated implementation of those key provisions. Details of the current illegal biodiversity during the above period are highlighted and the great effort made by Sri Lankan Customs in protecting the country’s conservation of biodiversity and combatting the weak points of illegal transactions is pointed out clearly with remedies.
