Beyond enforcement - communities, governance, incentives and sustainable use in combating wildlife crime, International Symposium 26-28 February 2015
2015  Full Book

The symposium 'Beyond enforcement: communities, governance, incentives and sustainable use in combating wildlife crime' was organised by IUCN CEESP/SSC Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group (SULi), the International Institute of Environment and Development (IIED), the Austrian Ministry of Environment, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (CEED), University of Queensland and TRAFFIC - the wildlife trade monitoring network - to explore the role of communities in tackling illegal wildlife trade. It was held from 26-28 February 2015 at Glenburn Lodge in Muldersdrift, South Africa, and brought together 80 participants (see Annex 1) from a diverse range of backgrounds, including representatives from United Nations agencies, national governments, academia, conservation NGOs and local communities. The primary objective of the meeting was to explore whether and under what circumstances community-based interventions1 are likely to achieve success in combating current patterns of illegal use and trade of wildlife (plants and animals). The programme was designed to directly respond to international commitments made with regards to the interaction between communities and Illegal wildlife trade and in particular to the London Declaration - the output of the Intergovernmental London Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade, held in February 2014. It was also designed to inform and influence the 2nd Intergovernmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade in Kasane, Botswana on 25 March 2015.
