Can citizen reporting apps plug the data gap in the Himalayan wildlife
trade?Harsh K. Chauhan & David GallacherScience DirectOctober 2, 2021
Abstract
The Himalayan region is particularly susceptible to biodiversity loss
because it is ecologically rich, highly susceptible to climate change and
natural hazards, and its governance is fragmented across multiple inter-
and intra-national boundaries. Citizen reporting tools might provide an
impetus for improving information-based management of wildlife trade that
is lacking in the current regional political structure. Investment in
citizen reporting tools could improve the availability of data on the
status of existing species’ populations and trade of their commercial
product. We outline how this recently-emerged tool is being used in the
region and describe the challenges for and potential contribution of a
citizen reporting app for combating illegal wildlife trade in the Himalayan
region.
