<p>The UK is committed to playing its part in ending the scourge of the global illegal
wildlife trade, which is why we hosted the London Conference on the illegal wildlife
trade in February 2014. The London Conference Declaration contained 25 commitments
to action on enforcement and criminal justice, eradicating the market for illegal
wildlife products and sustainable livelihoods.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A report
describing the UK’s progress on delivering the commitments made in the London Conference
Declaration will be published this spring. We have also designed a £10 million package,
over four years, to support international action to tackle the illegal wildlife trade,
focused on the themes discussed at the London Conference. As part of this package,
19 projects around the world will receive over £5.3 million through the Illegal Wildlife
Trade Challenge Fund.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK is producing a progress
report on behalf of all the countries and Intergovernmental Organisations which adopted
the London Conference Declaration. This report will be based on their contributions.</p><p>
