Summary
This project will strengthen enforcement and build capacity to combat pangolin trade in Malawi. Specifically, it will build capacity for frontline professionals to deliver an effective ‘first response’ to confiscated pangolins, which will support subsequent prosecution. In addition, it will develop a legal tool to support successful prosecution of pangolin crime cases, map ‘offender trafficking hotspots’, and deliver targeted sensitisation on deterrent wildlife legislation.
