Available at http://www.healthmap.org/wildlifetrade, the digital wildlife surveillance tool is freely available to both wildlife conservation officials as well as members of the general public and shows real-time reports of illegal wildlife trade activity worldwide as an interactive visualization. The system combines official and unofficial reports with an overall goal of providing a greater understanding of the global wildlife trade network in addition to providing a jumping-off point for the identification of hot spot regions where enhanced surveillance should be implemented for emerging zoonoses.
