Webinar Recap
Hosted by USAID Wildlife Asia, USAID Saving Species and GlobeScan
In this webinar, we explore how, where and why consumers purchase products derived from four animals:
- Rhinos
- Elephants
- Pangolins
- Tigers
Our experts discuss evidence-based recommendations to help reduce the demand for these animal products among different consumer segments. The research is based on multiple wildlife consumer demand studies in China, Thailand and Vietnam. The results uncovered the beliefs, attitudes and values of consumers which drive them to buy and use wildlife parts and products. Through understanding why and where animal products are purchased, we have a better chance to achieve animal conservation efforts.
