Indonesia, Jamaica and Honduras are the biggest exporters of wildlife. The possible link between COVID-19 and the wildlife trade has focused attention on both illegal and legal markets for wild animals.  One of the most comprehensive data sets on the legal trade comes from CITES, the global convention governing the wildlife trade. What was clear from the 21-year dataset: richer countries are the biggest destinations for wildlife, which, more often than not, originates from poorer countries. “We expected wealthier countries to be central to CITES regulated trade, what caught us off guard was how much more important they were,” said Jia Huan Liew, first author of the study and researcher at the University of Hong Kong.
