Resumen

Durante las dos últimas décadas, el rápido crecimiento de internet ha conllevado importantes cambios en las actividades criminales, ofreciendo nuevas oportunidades y facilitando algunos tipos de crímenes tales como el tráfico ilegal. El tráfico ilegal de fauna silvestre específicamente ha incrementado de manera constante en todo el mundo representando una amenaza no solamente a la supervivencia de muchas especies sino también a la seguridad nacional e internacional. El tráfico ilegal de fauna silvestre ha sido examinado por investigadores a través de varios marcos teóricos; sin embargo, las formas en las que este ha sido afectado por el internet no ha recibido mucha atención. A pesar de que algunos investigadores sugieren que el tráfico físico de flora silvestre y el tráfico físico de drogas tienen similitudes, sus mercados virtuales respectivos no han sido comparados todavía. Por lo tanto, este artículo presenta una detallada descripción de la literatura actual a fin de analizar este vacío y de hacer recomendaciones para futuras investigaciones empíricas en el tráfico animal. Este artículo resalta la necesidad de más investigación empírica en la materia de tráfico virtual ilegal de fauna silvestre, teniendo en cuenta la perspectiva de la criminología verde por la cual se aboga para que todas las especies silvestres tengan derechos iguales independientemente de los riesgos y amenazas que estas estén afrontando.
