Buyer Beware

Don't Bring Home a Suitcase Full of Trouble!

WWF's Buyer Beware PSA

Whether you go around the corner or around the globe, you could stumble upon products made from endangered or threatened wildlife. Sometimes you may not even know that what you buy contains anything questionable. So, it's up to you to read labels, ask questions, request documentation. Use the power of the consumer to protect wildlife.

To help in your purchasing decisions while abroad, TRAFFIC worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on a series of Buyer Beware brochures. You can download your own copies of the brochures, each of which include a clip-and-save list of products to avoid that you can take with you on your trips.

As an international traveler, you can support conservation by making informed choices -- this Buyer Beware guide (PDF, 260k) can help.
