Our project scales up past success to establish collaborations between inter-governmental, inter-sectoral, and local community stakeholders in three key pangolin sites to strengthen law enforcement, improve livelihoods, and reduce demand to counteract illegal wildlife trafficking activities. Our activities will incorporate the One Health approach for demand reduction, a holistic landscape approach to build partnerships between local people, law enforcement, and private sector entities, a scalable framework that can be implemented elsewhere if each component meets our expectations of success.
