Abstract:
Currently, the illegal wildlife trade is one of the most profitable illegal enterprises in the world. The aim of our study was to determine the situation with respect to wildlife trade in Slovenia, which is mainly a transit country, before changes to the Schengen borders came into effect. The volume of trade is significant but not extensive. The most common endangered species involved in illegal trade in Slovenia are the brown bear, the peregrine falcon, the date mussel, the lady\'s slipper orchid, the common snowdrop, the cyclamen, the sea turtle, the otter, and various reptile species. The smuggling of shells (date shells), ivory (ivory products), certain plants, and various hunting trophies (bears, big cats) has decreased in recent years. Nevertheless, counteracting crimes continues to be important for the conservation of some species in Slovenia, notably the lynx, and for the reduction of poaching. Improvements are needed in the detection and prevention of wildlife crime, especially in light of changes made to the Schengen borders and the consequent inclusion of new trading partners for Slovenia. The lack of people properly trained to identify, detect, and investigate wildlife crime is especially acute.
摘要:
目前,非法野生动物贸易是世界上最赚钱的非法企业之一。我们研究的目的是确定斯洛文尼亚野生动物贸易的情况,主要是过境国,在申根边界变更生效之前。贸易量很大,但不广泛。斯洛文尼亚参与非法贸易的最常见濒危物种是棕熊,猎鹰,日期贻贝,女士的拖鞋兰花,常见的雪花莲,仙客来,海龟,水獭,和各种爬行动物物种。走私贝壳(日期贝壳),象牙(象牙制品),某些植物,和各种狩猎奖杯(熊,大型猫科动物)近年来有所减少。然而,打击犯罪对于保护斯洛文尼亚的某些物种仍然很重要,尤其是山猫,减少偷猎。在侦查和预防野生动物犯罪方面需要改进,特别是鉴于申根边界的变化以及随之而来的斯洛文尼亚新贸易伙伴的加入。缺乏经过适当培训的人,检测,调查野生动物犯罪尤其严重。
