Summary
Evidence-based, targeted situational crime prevention (SCP) has been applied effectively to reduce a range of crimes globally, including drug trafficking and maritime piracy. It has potential to reduce IWT, but its potential has yet to be fully evaluated in a conservation context. This project will: (1) build capacity of conservation practitioners to apply SCP; (2) develop the evidence base required to apply and evaluate SCP in two landscapes, and (3) develop knowledge products in multiple languages to aid replication globally.
