[APWG] Fwd: Survey on risk analysis for assessing threats from wildlife trade to US National Food Security - closes November 24, 2014

[De Angelis, Patricia]

Pardon cross postings.

This survey seeks to characterize the potential threat posed by formal and
informal trade of wildlife across US borders to the US food system. This
phase of the survey will gather a broad range of perspectives regarding
formal/informal (legal/illegal) trade of live wildlife and wildlife
products and its intersection with food and agriculture.

I can not tell, without registering for the survey, if the information
being sought includes plant species or plant pathogens, but, I wanted to
share this information in case it pertains to your areas of expertise.

The survey should take one hour and closes on November 24.
