Summary
The Basel Institute/Lilongwe Wildlife Trust (LWT) project tackles environmental crime in Malawi by combining Basel’s anti-corruption and LWT’s wildlife and forestry crime expertise. Where corruption has already been committed, the project supports the Anti-Corruption Bureau to sanction it through investigations and prosecutions that target the traffickers’ finances and assets. To stem the onslaught of more corruption, the project strengthens the resilience of internal risk management systems of the Departments of National Parks
and Wildlife, Forestry and Police.
