This $517,873 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement under the Trans-National Crime Federal Grant Program (CFDA 19.705) aims to combat wildlife trafficking in Pakistan. The key interventions are:
-
Enhancing law enforcement capabilities through tailored training curricula for rangers on wildlife crime prevention, crime scene investigation, wildlife handling, and ranger health and safety.
-
Strengthening judicial capacity by creating educational materials and awareness sessions for the judiciary to improve their ability to effectively prosecute wildlife crimes. This includes engagement with federal and provincial judicial academies.
-
Improving interagency coordination by establishing the National Wildlife Crime Prevention Network to facilitate information sharing and collaboration among law enforcement agencies.
The project will be implemented by World Wildlife Fund, Inc. (WWF) in partnership with its local affiliate, World Wide Fund For Nature Pakistan, over a 2-year period from October 2024 to September 2026.
