It is imperative to expand the involvement of wildlife in the development of the country by increasing the economic advantages obtained from wildlife resources via both consumptive and non-consumptive utilization strategies. The economic endeavors related to wildlife and its commodities need to be conducted in a lawful fashion that safeguards the wildlife from harm.
The wildlife trade could contribute to Ethiopia’s economic benefits through consumptive use mechanisms and encourage the quality live trade in wildlife. Interested persons who are applying to get a license for trading in live wildlife must fulfill the requirements set in Wildlife Trading No. 21/2015.
