Wildlife Friendly Skies
Wildlife Friendly Skies Program Wildlife trafficking is a serious problem generating an estimated US$ 19 billion annually. The proceeds of wildlife trafficking fund terrorism, strengthen criminal syndicates, endanger lives and hurt economies. A significant amount of the wildlife traded around the world travels on commercial flights. This includes both legal and illegal trade. Transport of illegal wildlife can be extremely cruel and mortality rates are high when animals are treated as luggage. Proper training for employees of commercial airlines will help stop wildlife trafficking.
Freeland’s “Wildlife Trafficking Free Zone” A training course for employees of commercial airlines on how to stop wildlife trafficking
Freeland provides experienced instructors to engage pilots, flight attendants, cargo handlers and check-in officers for one intensive day to: • Increase their awareness of how commercial airlines are used by wildlife traffickers; • Develop their skills in identifying possible wildlife crime and criminals; • Instruct on what actions to take, including where to report suspicious wildlife crime activity; and • Provide the information required for first response care that should be given to wild animals which have been rescued.
