Summary
Co-designed with Mongolian and UK partners this project will disrupt IWT through: 1) building and sustaining the newly established Ecological Police Department (EPD) and partners’ law enforcement (LE) efficacy, through institutionalising state-of-the-art training; 2) establishing world-class standards for EPD Detector Dog training and strategic deployment; 3) strengthening EPD’s rural engagement through partnership with Arkhangai Local Protected Area (LPA), empowering community-led governance to jointly mitigate IWT, while improving wellbeing; and 4) bolstering public awareness of EPD’s role in combating IWT.
