On a sidenote: WNes please re-consider consumption of cosmetics and perfumes and go for natural beauty :twisted:
The global trade in essential oils, perfumes, cosmetics, and toiletries was worth just under US$112 billion in 2014.
That year, Europe alone imported 89,000 metric tons of essential oils, 40,000 metric tons of plant extracts, and 194,000 metric tons of raw plant material for the cosmetics
trade, worth around 2.5 billion euros. It is estimated that over 70% of the European trade volume in medicinal and aromatic plants comes from wild collection.

It is also crucial for countries to be capable of measuring and monitoring the effectiveness of their own law enforcement responses to wildlife and forest crime.
And this does not mean self-made success indicators such as conviction rate in finalized cout case :evil:

Nothing really new in there but still shocking when you read such a summary report. O/


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
