In 1994, the Lusaka Agreement on Co-operative Enforcement Operations Directed at Illegal Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora has been adopted at a Ministerial meeting in Zambia. Ten countries signed or ratified the treaty between 1994 and 2005, although only seven are parties to the agreement. The objective of the Lusaka Agreement ‘is to reduce and ultimately eliminate illegal trade in wild fauna and flora and to establish a permanent Task Force for this purpose’.The Lusaka Agreement Task Force (LATF), is a permanent inter-governmental task force to foster cross-border wildlife enforcement. It investigates violations of wildlife laws, gathers intelligence and engages in joint invstigations in collaboration with national bureaus.
