In East Asia, the consumption of whale meat is widespread only in Japan and in communities along the southeastern coastal region of South Korea, which are influenced by Japanese culture. While whale meat had long been a part of the Japanese diet, consumption increased markedly after World War II, when US occupation forces encouraged whaling by Japan to prevent famine.

Both the processes of the International Labour Organization and the content of the recently agreed-upon Chitwan Declaration are addressed throughout this piece. The concluding section provides a set of recommendations, which are principally directed at two groups: the government agencies that employ most rangers, and those non-governmental organizations that seek to improve ranger employment conditions and effectiveness.

The authors describe the latter as “a unique corrupt practice for wildlife crimes, and possibly unique to the caviar industry.” Corruption is a severe threat to wildlife conservation globally: the study recommends adoption of a “top-down and bottom-up approach” to address corruption within wildlife crime given the large differences between commodity types. For example, smuggling caviar uses different mechanisms to smuggling timber due to the scale of the commodity and different shipment modus operandi used. Among the solutions put forward for dea...
