The Diverse Illegal Trade in Funga, Flora, and Fauna

This session challenges conventional narratives around illegal trade by expanding the focus to include the full spectrum of affected species: fungi, plants, invertebrates and fishes, integrating ecological, socio-economic, legal, and governance perspectives in an interactive World Cafe format to generate actionable insights for more effective, inclusive policies and interventions.

Difficult to define and deeply damaging: the huge cost of non-selective fisheries for marine biodiversity

  • Date: June 3-5

  • Time: 18:00-20:00

  • Location: La Baleine

  • Organizer: IUCN SSC Marine Conservation Committee

  • IUCN Role: Poster Presenter

  • IUCN Staff: IUCN SSC (Amanda Vincent, Coralie Palmer)

Non-selective fishing practices represent a critical threat to marine biodiversity, driving widespread degradation of marine ecosystems with profound consequences. Our presentation examines the extensive impacts of non-selective fisheries—both artisanal and commercial—on marine species, with a focus on biodiversity conservation. Through in-depth consultation with taxon experts from the marine-focused Specialist Groups of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC), we reveal the vast taxonomic range of species affected by non-selective fishing, with pressures coming from a diversity in gear types, scales, and modes of impact across fisheries.
