Air Canada Cargo Joins the Fight Against Illegal Wildlife Trade

Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) works with endangered species and ecosystems, the introduction of harmful parasites, infectious diseases, and invasive organisms in native habitats. Additionally, Air Canada collaborates with accredited zoos, wildlife sanctuaries, law enforcement, and conservation organisations to relocate trafficked animals to safe, regulated facilities.

According to the statement,Linda Kudzman, Air Canada’s Director of Environment Management Programs, emphasised the airline’s commitment:

There can be significant animal welfare concerns for exotic animals in private ownership. We are pleased to see Mandy receiving proper care in a safer environment. As a global airline, we strive to fight illegal wildlife trade, whether by preventing trafficking into Canada or facilitating safe relocations to accredited homes.

How Air Canada Cargo Safely Relocated the Rescued White-Nosed Coati

The white-nosed coati, a raccoon family member native to regions from Arizona to South America, has a distinctive long snout used to forage for invertebrates. Mandy received temporary care at the Toronto Zoo, an AZA-accredited facility, where experts evaluated her condition. Due to unknown origins and health history, releasing her into the wild was not an option.

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium stepped in to provide a permanent home. Air Canada Cargo ensured Mandy’s safe transfer from Toronto to Nebraska.

Dolf DeJong, CEO of Toronto Zoo, highlighted the zoo’s commitment in the announcement :

There are far too many unregulated facilities, and animals often suffer as a result. We were proud to provide a temporary home for Mandy and know she will thrive at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. We extend our gratitude to Air Canada for facilitating her transport and joining the fight against illegal wildlife trade.

Air Canada’s Role in Wildlife Conservation

Air Canada actively combats wildlife crime with a zero-tolerance policy for trafficking. In 2020, the airline signed the Buckingham Palace Declaration and became the first airline in the Americas to achieve the IATA Illegal Wildlife Trade certification, formalising its commitment to reducing illegal wildlife activities.

From preventing trafficked wildlife from entering Canada to supporting their relocation.Additionally,Air Canada contributes to global conservation efforts, safeguarding biodiversity and promoting awareness.
