野生动物贩运是一种全球现象，对社会环境系统造成许多负面影响。对野生动物贩运趋势和干预措施的影响的科学探索受到一系列数据重复使用挑战的严重阻碍。我们描述了一个新颖的、开放访问的野生动物贩运数据目录和相应的可视化工具，该工具可用于识别多种目的的数据，如探索野生动物贩运热点和与其他犯罪的汇合点，发现野生动物贩运的关键驱动因素或威慑因素，以及揭示结构模式。使用关键词搜索、专家启发和同行评议出版物来搜索行业和非营利组织使用的现有来源，以及那些被用来发表学术研究文章的来源。开放获取的数据目录被设计成一个活的文件，并可根据多种衡量标准进行搜索。该目录可用于不可持续的非法野生动物贸易的数据驱动分析，通过链接预测模型的供应链结构，通过多项目背包问题的需求和供应减少倡议的价值，或通过网络阻断问题的贩运行为和运输选择。
Wildlife trafficking is a global phenomenon posing many negative impacts on socio-environmental systems. Scientific exploration of wildlife trafficking trends and the impact of interventions is significantly encumbered by a suite of data reuse challenges. We describe a novel, open-access data directory on wildlife trafficking and a corresponding visualization tool that can be used to identify data for multiple purposes, such as exploring wildlife trafficking hotspots and convergence points with other crime, discovering key drivers or deterrents of wildlife trafficking, and uncovering structural patterns. Keyword searches, expert elicitation, and peer-reviewed publications were used to search for extant sources used by industry and non-profit organizations, as well as those leveraged to publish academic research articles. The open-access data directory is designed to be a living document and searchable according to multiple measures. The directory can be instrumental in the data-driven analysis of unsustainable illegal wildlife trade, supply chain structure via link prediction models, the value of demand and supply reduction initiatives via multi-item knapsack problems, or trafficking behavior and transportation choices via network interdiction problems.
