Description
Traditionally, wildlife law enforcement efforts have focused on the trade in large mammals such as tigers and elephants. The purpose of this project is to combat poaching and illegal wildlife trade of lesser known species in the western and eastern ghats of india, including the indian pangolin (manis crassicaudata) and indian star tortoise (geochelone elegans). To address the illegal killing and trafficking of these species, this two-year grant will support: (1) data gathering on the prevalence of poaching of lesser known species, including using seizure records to map poaching hotspots, trafficking networks, routes, and major hubs; (2) strengthening law enforcement through interagency training and exchange among key governmental partners in india including the wildlife crime control bureau, enforcement directorate, directorate of revenue intelligence, and state forest departments; (3) training workshops for the judiciary to increase conviction rates in wildlife trafficking cases; and (4) developing a constituency for conservation through awareness raising activities among policymakers and local communities.
