Illegal wildlife trade is a complex and lucrative transnational crime that involves social, ecological, cultural, political, economic factors. It also significant conservation challenge can threaten species, ecosystems, societies. Although illegal negatively impacts various many North American turtle populations are exceptionally vulnerable to the removal of wild individuals due their life history traits. Some key challenges addressing in turtles include shortcomings laws, regulations, criminal justice system; insufficient data understand issue; resources combat issue. Herein, we provide brief characterization America describe how grassroots working group, Collaborative Combat Trade Turtles (CCITT), formed response this urgent crisis. Our collaborative adaptive socio-ecological approach includes examples serves as case study on trafficking be addressed through identifying need scope problem, building expanding network core partnerships, defining strategy, implementing strategy an iterative way. Looking ahead, recognize CCITT has gaps representation and, therefore, expand partnerships well work towards full implementation our strategic plan. While there will never "one-size-fits-all" combating trade, maintain sharing approaches, successes, lessons learned, outcomes with others outside immediate area focus critical advance outcomes.
