Emirates gets IEnvA to tackle illegal wildlife crime

Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo arm of Emirates, has a longstanding, zero-tolerance policy on illegal wildlife trade and a complete ban on hunting trophies for the Big-4. The IEnvA Illegal Wildlife Trade certification is an indication of the company-wide commitment to taking action. In addition to Emirates SkyCargo staff, wildlife awareness training has also been extended to staff in passenger services, including Cabin Crew, Emirates Airport Services and the Emirates Group Security team. Ian Cruickshank, Transport Taskforce Manager, United for Wildlife, said: “As one of the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce’s longest-standing members, Emirates continue to demonstrate their strong leadership in combatting wildlife trafficking. We congratulate the team on their achievement of this certification and look forward to ongoing collaboration to tackle wildlife crime around the world.”
