Summary
Countries in the Horn of Africa have enhanced capacity to detect, apprehend and prosecute wildlife criminals at border points. Significant reduction in cross-border illegal trade in cheetah, elephant, leopard and other species helps preserve their wild populations. Intra- and inter-governmental networks established, strengthened and sustained, leading to robust, coordinated action. The general public and especially impoverished communities support the initiative and are engaged in efforts to combat illegal wildlife trade while benefitting from so doing.
