Businesses, NGOs and academia: Spain approves update to anti-illegal wildlife trade action plan (Plan TIFIES)

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

In 2 key points

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

How it affects those involved

For businesses, NGOs and academia, the regulation establishes the need for active collaboration to achieve biodiversity protection goals. Public administrations (Agriculture, Finance, Interior, Ecological Transition, among others) must coordinate their competences to address the links between these activities and criminal networks. The plan strengthens monitoring of entry and transit routes in Spain due to its geostrategic position.
