answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>The UK plays a leading role in encouraging countries to take action to stop poaching of endangered species and to reduce demand for illegal wildlife products. For example, the UK drafted both the London Declaration from the London Conference on IWT in 2014 and the Kasane Statement from the Botswana Conference of March 2015 to push countries into committing themselves to ambitious actions to tackle the illegal wildlife trade. A review was compiled for the Botswana Conference showing progress by countries on the commitments to action agreed at London. These documents have been made publicly available on www.gov.uk.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 05/11/2015 14:29:59 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
