?Numerous uncertainties in the multifaceted global trade in frogs’ legs with the EU as the major consumer

The commercial trade in frogs and their body parts is global, dynamic occurs extremely large volumes (in the thousands of tonnes/yr or billions frogs/yr). European Union (EU) remains single largest importer frogs’ legs, with most still caught from wild. Amongst many drivers species extinction population decline (e.g. due to habitat loss, climate change, disease etc.), overexploitation becoming increasingly more prominent. Due global declines extinctions, new attention being focused on these markets, part try ensure sustainability. While plagued by daunting realities data deficiency uncertainty conflicts interests associated data, it clear that EU countries are responsible for portion international legs wild species. Over decades exploitation, imports have contributed a frog populations an increasing number supplying countries, such as India Bangladesh, well Indonesia, Turkey Albania recently. However, there been no concerted attempts present export sustainability this trade. Further work needed validate identities, secure populations, establish reasonable monitored harvest/export quotas surveillance integrity, quality security standards farms. Herein, we call upon those representative governments assume responsibility should take immediate action channel all through centralised database list sensitive Annexes Wildlife Trade Regulation. Further, listing CITES (the Convention International Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora) can enforce restrictions.
