Beskrivning
This book examines the trade in nonhuman animals of endangered wild species. Wildlife trafficking is, after loss of habitat, the biggest threat to many animal species and biodiversity. This book draws on extensive empirical data from Norway to highlight the parallel legal and illegal markets, the motivation of traders, animal victimization, the weaknesses of existing regulatory frameworks, and the difficulties of legal enforcement. As a long-time signatory of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and a rich consumer country, Norway provides the perfect case for investigating the consequences of legalising or banning wildlife trade. The work applies a green, non-speciesist theoretical perspective to analyse empirical data covering approximately 350 cases as well as qualitative interviews with law enforcement agencies and confiscation reports from customs. The book will be an essential resource for researchers and academics in green criminology, global criminology, environmental law and environmental studies. It will also be of value to professionals working in wildlife and animal welfare policies and enforcement, such as governmental and non-governmental organizations.

'Wildlife Trade and Animal Victimization: Parallel Harms and Crimes is Ragnhild Sollund’s best book to date—unique in the way that it combines passionate pleas to end nonhuman animal suffering with methodologically rigorous findings and theoretically sophisticated analysis. If you are not enraged by the time you finish the book, you lack a pulse!'Avi Brisman, Professor, Eastern Kentucky University'Ragnhild Sollund is a pioneering investigator of wildlife trafficking, campaigner against speciesism, and a founding contributor to green criminology. Her recent work has revealed the shortcomings of domestic and international protections for endangered species. This book brings her work together in a profound, passionate and expert overview of human exploitation and victimisation of other species.'Nigel South, Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Criminology, University of Essex'This groundbreaking book exposes the intricate power dynamics, the legal-illegal interfaces, and the multifaceted victimization behind the wildlife trade. From a non-speciesist approach, Ragnhild Sollund critically interrogates the anthropocentric dichotomy between individual and species rights and introduces steppingstones toward justice and better lives for all.'Daan van Uhm, Associate professor of Criminology, Utrecht University`Sollund succeeds in reframing wildlife trade as a serious form of victimization, one deserving of the same criminological attention afforded to interpersonal violence. Her meticulous research, compassionate analysis, and unsparing critique render this book essential reading for criminologists, environmental scholars, enforcement agencies, and anyone concerned with justice beyond the human. It is difficult to offer criticism of a work so compelling, so ethically clear, and so urgently needed. Sollund’s monograph stands as a landmark text in green criminology and a powerful argument for why the trade in wild animals, legal or illegal, must end.’Arjun R. Awasthi, The British Journal of Criminology, 2026, 00, 1–3 https://doi.org/10.1093/bjc/azaf126`Sollund’s book offers a crucial and transformative contribution to green criminology, successfully recontextualising the wildlife trade, encompassing both illegal and legal exploitation, as a serious form of victimisation. Identifying and conceptualising these harms not only contributes to a holistic understanding of wildlife trade and animal victimisation, but may also supports the development of more effective preventive and reactive strategies. Sollund advocates for a cultural shift in which the protection of animal rights, grounded in their intrinsic value, is central to decision-making and given the highest priority.’Daan van Uhm, Crime, Media, Culture,DOI: 10.1177/17416590261451162
