WHERE Cambodia
Summary
Illegal hunting and trade continue to impact freshwater turtle species, as current approaches do not address the root causes of illegal trade and have been ineffective in preventing population decline. This project will map turtle trade chains, including individuals involved in exploitation, their motivations, and drivers of demand for two Critically Endangered species. We will use this evidence base to develop a specific, innovative, crime prevention-based strategy to reduce poaching, illegal trade and consumption of these species in the long-term.
