Ivonne Higuero, Secretary General of CITES, at FATF's High-level Conference on Environmental Crime

Ivonne Higuero, Secretary General of CITES, took part in FATF's High-Level Conference on Environmental Crime on 7 December. In her remarks, she highlighted that the "same enforcement tools, techniques and penalties that countries use to combat other serious crimes, such as trafficking in drugs or persons, must be deployed against wildlife crime. (The FATF is) already shifting the needle by assisting our parties to ‘follow the money’ and take the profit out of this crime.”
