WHERE Indonesia
Summary
Indonesia is an IWT hotspot, and NGOs and government worked for a decade to update its Conservation Law to close loopholes. Finally revised in 2024, the Law presents new sanctions, fills gaps in prosecuting organised IWT, and secures compensation from offenders. This is transformative, if it can be equitably and effectively operationalised. This project will support development of implementing regulations and sentencing guidelines; train judges in the new law, and support “champion” prosecutor teams to use the new provisions
