Kenya's efforts in combating illegal wildlife trade through ports have improved with no reported seizures at the Mombasa port for the past three years.

According to Traffic, a global wildlife trade monitoring network, Kenya has been a major transit route with its airports and seaports being flagged as major exit points for trafficked illegal wildlife products from other countries.
