Trademapper

TradeMapper is a tool which can be used to map trade flow data - it does not come pre-loaded with any data. Although it has been developed with wildlife trade data in mind, it could be used with any flow data (people, money, carbon). Please ensure you understand how to interpret the data and resulting maps, and take into consideration any caveats which may apply.

Below are some sources of freely available trade data:

• TRAFFIC’s Wildlife Trade Portal www.wildlifetradeportal.org The most comprehensive open-access repository of wildlife seizure data

• CITES http://trade.cites.org/ Wildlife trade data

• UN Comtrade http://comtrade.un.org/ Global customs trade data

• EUROSTAT http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/statistics/search_database European customs trade data
