Countering Wildlife Crime

At Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, we are deeply committed to safeguarding Africa’s rich biodiversity by taking a stand against wildlife crime. Poaching, illegal trafficking, and other wildlife-related offenses threaten not only the survival of endangered species but also the health of ecosystems and the wellbeing of local communities. Our comprehensive approach to countering wildlife crime includes cutting-edge forensics, on-the-ground investigations, and robust partnerships with law enforcement agencies.

By leveraging our state-of-the-art Wildlife Forensics Laboratory, we are able to conduct detailed analyses that aid in the identification of poached animals, linking perpetrators to crimes and strengthening the legal cases against them. Our dedicated team of experts also supports Wildlife Crime Scene Investigations, offering essential field support to ensure that every piece of evidence is meticulously gathered and preserved.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1724762181047{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

Our initiatives focus on:

1. Wildlife Forensics: Uncovering evidence to support legal action against wildlife criminals.
2. Combatting Poaching and Illegal Trafficking: Partnering with law enforcement to disrupt criminal networks.
3. Community Engagement: Empowering local communities to act as stewards of wildlife protection.
4. Technology and Innovation: Implementing cutting-edge tools for wildlife crime detection.
5. Wildlife Crime Scene Investigation Support: Providing on-ground support for wildlife crime investigations.

By linking these elements, we aim to create a safer environment for Africa’s wildlife and foster a culture of conservation and respect for nature.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][mk_revslider id=”news-magazine-slider”][mk_padding_divider][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1724839077092{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
