Target 10: By 2025, illegal harvesting and illegal trade of wildlife, fish and plants are under control and significantly reduced.

Malaysia’s rich biodiversity is threatened by the compounding effect of habitat loss and poaching which fuel the illegal wildlife trade. Federal legislation that governs the import and export of wildlife are the International Trade in Endangered Species Act 2008 (also known as the CITES Act) and the Customs Act 1967. Target 10 seeks to reinforce the monitoring and enforcement measures which move in tandem with public awareness programmes to reduce poaching and trade of threatened wildlife and plants.
