Summary
A thriving illegal wildlife trade (IWT) in Indonesia exists in biodiversity-rich landscapes connected to urban centres and ports. To address this, we will: Establish a national Working Group to oversee implementation of a novel problem-oriented policing approach and its up-scaling; Demonstrate a landscape-level Integrated Prevention Model (IPM) in reducing poaching and improving rural livelihoods; Support counter-wildlife trafficking measures in provinces connected to the target landscapes; and Strengthen the legal framework for
tackling wildlife crime at the national and landscape levels.

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.
