Summary
This project will generate political support, leverage greater accountability of government and provide actionable intelligence to law enforcement agencies to put Asia's most prolific wildlife trafficking companies out of business. We will generate incentives, through an informed and active constituency within influential agencies in government; pressure the media and international organisations, by guiding external attention from influential countries; and provide actionable intelligence to enable an effective policy and law enforcement response.
Over 600 arrests and more than 500 convictions in wildlife crime since 2017, alongside a decline in ivory trafficking cases and an increase in elephant and rhino populations.
