CCITT Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan 2025-2030 — A Pathway to Success

The CCITT Strategic Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy, developed with input from a broad range of partners, that identifies priority objectives for immediate implementation to disrupt and reduce the illegal trade in North American turtles. Key strategies include expanding partnerships, the development of legal resources, enhancing law enforcement coordination, addressing gaps in confiscation and housing capacity, and reducing consumer demand through education and evidence-based behavior-change strategies. The plan is structured such that each of these overarching goals is broken down into subordinate objectives and supporting actions that are intended as actionable and achievable.
