Summary
To combat trafficking of Critically Endangered sturgeon in the eastern Black Sea region, this project takes a multi-faceted approach that is delivered in partnership with local and national stakeholders. Bottom-up conservation activity by local citizens and fishers is combined with training and operational support to law enforcement bodies, prosecutors, and judges to address poaching and trafficking issues. Key Government agencies and local communities take leading roles in the project, while transboundary trafficking is addressed through international platforms.
