Companies, NGOs and academia: revision of the Action Plan against illegal wildlife trafficking (TIFIES Plan) approved

The Council of Ministers has approved the revision of the Spanish Action Plan against illegal wildlife trafficking and international poaching (TIFIES Plan). This update aims to enhance inter-ministerial coordination and optimise public resources to combat criminal networks threatening biodiversity. The revision aligns with the European Union Action Plan, which aims to guide the fight against species trafficking until 2027.

In 2 key points

  1. The EU Action Plan against wildlife trafficking will guide action until 2027 (ANEXO)
  2. The active involvement of civil society, companies, NGOs and academia is required for the plan's effectiveness (ANEXO)

How it affects those involved

For companies, NGOs and academia, the regulation establishes a need for active collaboration to achieve biodiversity protection objectives. Public administrations (including Agriculture, Finance, Home Affairs, and Ecological Transition) must coordinate their respective powers to respond to the links between these activities and criminal networks. The plan strengthens surveillance of entry and transit routes in Spain due to its geostrategic position.
