The graph below displays the total weight of wildlife seizures by species category over the years. To adjust the time period covered by this graph, select a start and end date in the filter. The size of the bubble on the graph is indicative of the average weight per seizure – the larger the bubble, the larger the average weight in kg. Seizure weight is only available for ivory, rhino horn, and pangolin, since seizures of leopard, lion, and tiger are not commonly recorded with a weight.
If multiple categories of wildlife were intercepted in the same seizure, the incident will be represented in the graphics as a single seizure for each category of wildlife seized. For example, if ivory and rhino horn were seized in the same shipment, it will appear as one ivory seizure and one rhino horn seizure in their respective lines. Please refer to "global seizure count" to get the total number of seizures where multi-species seizures are only counted as one seizure.
