India’s Apeejay Shipping is joining in the fight to prevent illegal animal trafficking.

The bulker owner has signed up to the Buckingham Palace Declaration led by the UK’s Prince William.

The Economic Times cited chairman Karan Paul as saying: "The illegal wildlife trade is a direct threat to species and goes against the stability and diversity of our biosphere.

“Apeejay Shipping, as a major sea transportation service provider, commits its fleet and our people to being vigilant and to use our information network.”
