The resource can be used to support activity for several targets in goal 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions), including 16.3 (promoting the rule of law), 16.4 (combatting illicit flows, strengthening the recover and return of stolen assets, and combating all forms of organized crime), and 16.B (promote laws and policies for sustainable development). Preventing illicit trade and trafficking of objects made from protected species supports SDGs 15.7 (end poaching) and 15.C (provide support to end poaching), as well as 15.5 (end degradation of nature) and 11.4 (protect the world’s cultural and natural heritage). Using the resource to support public education and awareness programmes supports SDGs 4.7 (Education for Sustainable Development) and 12.8 (information for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature). The resource can help staff be effective in developing education and awareness-raising programmes to combat the illegal wildlife trade, supporting SDG 4.4.
