This project will develop a ground-breaking Wildlife Crime Recidivism Risk Framework and weaken Zambia’s position as a significant illegal wildlife trafficking hub along pan-African trade routes by addressing poverty and lack of economic opportunity as drivers of poaching, wildlife trafficking and wildlife crime recidivism in rural Zambia. A pioneering wildlife offender reintegration programme aims to create sustainable income streams and thereby reduce poverty-induced wildlife crime recidivism to safeguard globally valuable wildlife populations while building climate change resilience.
