Lacey Act

The Lacey Act is a U.S. law that prohibits trafficking in fish, wildlife, and plants that are illegally taken, transported, or sold. It aims to protect natural resources by ensuring that these items come from legal sources. Under the Act, you cannot import, export, trade, or sell wildlife or plants that violate conservation laws or regulations in the U.S. or other countries. It also requires proper documentation to prove the legal origin of these goods. The Lacey Act helps prevent illegal poaching, black market trade, and environmental harm while promoting sustainable and lawful practices.
