About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs awarded Wildlife Conservation Society a $3.1 million Project Grant on October 1, 2025, under the Trans-National Crime program (CFDA 19.705) to combat natural resource crime in Mesoamerica through October 1, 2028. The initiative strengthens legislative and regulatory frameworks, enhances law enforcement capabilities, and fosters international cooperation to address wildlife trafficking and related transnational organized crimes in the region. Work is performed in Guatemala with transboundary coordination extending to neighboring jurisdictions.

The award supports comprehensive capacity-building activities executed through multiple sub-awardees. Pro Natura Peninsula De Yucatan, AC implements wildlife trafficking prevention and enforcement in the Yucatan Peninsula through authority capacity building, inter-institutional coordination, data management systems, and field patrols in the Balam Ku Biosphere Reserve with transboundary collaboration efforts. Friends for Conservation and Development concentrates on scarlet macaw chick protection in the Chiquibul Forest through rescue and in situ conservation operations, while simultaneously strengthening community engagement against illegal wildlife trafficking (IWT) in Chiquibul National Park. These efforts include inter-institutional patrols, informant protection mechanisms, community linkups with local authorities and conservation bodies, and targeted socioeconomic interventions designed to reduce transnational IWT and deter illegal wildlife and timber trafficking across Mesoamerica's western boundaries.
