Abstract

The article "Patents Reveal Shifts in Global Wildlife Trade" discusses how patents for products like rhino horn and pangolin scales reflect the evolving demand and innovation in the global wildlife trade. The research analyzes patent applications for various wildlife products, revealing changes in species, products, and locations of wildlife trade. The study shows that businesses are constantly innovating in the wildlife trade sector, which could put rare and endangered animals under increasing pressure. The findings suggest that understanding how businesses innovate in the wildlife trade is crucial for shaping future regulations and conservation efforts. [Extracted from the article]

Author

Hinsley, Amy, de Boer, Hugo J., Fay, Michael F., Gale, Stephan W., Gardiner, Lauren M., Gunasekara, Rajasinghe S., Kumar, Pankaj, Masters, Susanne, Metusala, Destario, Roberts, David L., Veldman, Sarina, Wong, Shan, Phelps, Jacob, Hinsley, Amy, de Boer, Hugo J., Fay, Michael F., Gale, Stephan W., Gardiner, Lauren M., Gunasekara, Rajasinghe S., Kumar, Pankaj, Masters, Susanne, Metusala, Destario, Roberts, David L., Veldman, Sarina, Wong, Shan, and Phelps, Jacob

Abstract

Orchids are one of the largest plant families and are commercially traded for a variety of purposes, including as ornamental plants, medicinal products and food. These markets involve thousands of species, which may be traded legally or illegally, sustainably or unsustainably, and take place at local, national or international scales. In this review, we provide the first overview of commercial orchid trade globally and highlight the main types that involve wild-collected plants. Much of this trade is the result of illegal harvest meaning that it is little documented and is absent from official statistics, at the same time as being of growing conservation concern. We discuss the associated legal-regulatory context, identify key conservation challenges and highlight four key priorities for addressing these challenges. These are to (1) research trade dynamics and the impacts of harvest; (2) strengthen the legal trade of orchids; (3) adopt measures to reduce illegal trade; and (4) raise the profile of orchid trade among policy makers, conservationists and the public.

Much of this trade is the result of illegal harvest meaning that it is little documented and is absent from official statistics, at the same time as being of growing conservation concern. We discuss the associated legal–regulatory context, identify key conservation challenges and highlight four key priorities for addressing these challenges.
