Description

The purpose of this project is to counter trafficking of marine turtles in cambodia by generating actionable intelligence on trafficking routes, networks, and wildlife markets across cambodia while building the capacity and skills of the nation's wildlife police unit (wildlife rapid rescue team) and the cambodian fisheries administration to proactively act on marine turtle trade. This project is intended to conserve marine turtle populations, both nationally and regionally, by suppressing the emerging trade in marine turtles and their parts in cambodia, where trade is tied to increasing investment and tourism from china. Specific activities will include: (1) providing training for the wildlife rapid rescue team and cambodian fisheries administration on identification of marine turtle parts and filing legal cases for turtle trafficking; (2) establishing informants in key trafficking locations such as the coastal communities of sihanoukville, kampot, and dara sakor; and (3) targeting enforcement operations by the wildlife rapid rescue team in response to actionable intelligence including raids against shops and restaurants identified as involved in the marine turtle trade.
