Challenges in International Transportation and Relocation
Introduction and
Motivation
Why did we choose this topic?
• An uncommon example of supply
chain management
• International transportation of live
animals
• More complex than transporting
ordinary products
Why is it relevant?
• Requires coordination among multiple
organizations
• Involves logistics, planning, and
transportation management

The
Problem
International animal transportation
faces challenges such as
regulations, quarantine, high costs,
and delays.
Project Overview
This project aims to identify key supply
chain challenges and explore ways to
improve efficiency while ensuring
animal safety and welfare.

Background:
Our Focus
International Zoo Animal
Transportation
Logistics beyond ordinary
cargo.
A Complex Global Process
Animals are relocated across
borders for breeding, population
management, and conservation.
Each journey requires
coordination between zoos,
veterinarians, transport
companies, and authorities.
Special Requirements
Veterinary care, suitable
transportation conditions, official
documentation, and animal
welfare must be considered
throughout the process.

5.

Why Does It
Matter?
Our research examines how better
planning, communication, and risk
management can improve relocation
reliability while protecting animal
welfare.
Delays
Costs
Permit issues and flight
cancellations can disrupt
schedules.
Unexpected disruptions
can require additional
resources.
Coordination
Animal Welfare
Multiple organizations
must work together
across borders.
Logistics decisions
must protect animal
health and safety.

Research
Questions
01 — Challenges
What are the main supply
chain challenges in
international zoo animal
relocation?
02 — Impact
Research
Objectives
How do disruptions,
documentation, and
coordination affect time,
costs, and animal welfare?
Improving the efficiency and reliability of international
animal relocation
03 — Solutions
Research goal: connect SCM concepts
with real-world logistics challenges and
develop practical recommendations
based on the available evidence.
Which SCM practices could
make relocation more
efficient, reliable, and
responsible?

Research
Design &
Methodology
Multiple Case Study
In-depth qualitative focus on
high-risk, low-frequency live
animal relocations
Service Supply Chain
Replaces automated mass-cargo
models with specialized animal
welfare protocols.
Data Foundations
Secondary empirical data from
CITES regulations and IATA Live
Animals Standards.
Multi-Case Analysis
Cross-case synthesis evaluating
operational risk and regulatory
compliance.

Financials & Growth
Our roadmap shows robust growth:
Year 1
Year 2
Year 3
\$15M revenue from pilot
programs and digital
education.
\$50M revenue with the
opening of two zoological
parks.
\$120M revenue from
global expansion and
conservation
