Wild Fur Suppliers

Wild Fur trapping in Russia and North America is subject to a wide-ranging system of laws, regulations, checks and controls that emphasize the sustainability and welfare of all furbearing species and protect endangered species. Ensuring population and environmental sustainability is the basis for when and how animal harvests are made and for the number of animals harvested. The system of checks and balances operates at tribal, local, state, regional and federal levels of government, and also through wide-reaching international agreements (e.g. ISO standards, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, or CITES, Best Management Practice Guidelines for Furbearer Management, known as BMPGFM, and the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards, or AIHTS).

The Fur Institute of Canada trade association has, since 1983, coordinated the world’s most advanced humane trapping research and certi cation programme. More than $30 million has been invested by the Canadian government and industry to support this pioneering research. The same work is carried out in Russia.
