Korean Air has signed the Buckingham Palace Declaration, becoming the first Korean airline to join the global initiative to counter illegal wildlife trafficking through the transportation sector.

Established in March 2016, the Buckingham Palace Declaration is an international agreement aimed at preventing traffickers from exploiting global transport networks. It sets out 11 commitments, including sharing information on illegal wildlife trade, reporting suspicious activity to relevant authorities and refusing to transport cargo suspected of containing illegally traded wildlife or wildlife products.
