The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a US non-profit, tax-exempt, private
organization established in 1895 that saves wildlife and wild places by
understanding critical issues, crafting science-based solutions, and taking
conservation actions that benefit nature and humanity. With a presence in more
than 60 nations WCS has amassed the biological knowledge, cultural
understanding and partnerships to ensure that vibrant, wild places and wildlife
thrive alongside local communities.
COUNTER WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING PROGRAM
Wildlife trafficking is having a devastating effect on many species across the
globe. It undermines local livelihoods, promotes the spread of zoonotic
diseases, weakens the rule of law, exacerbates corruption, provides revenue for
violent armed groups and organized crime syndicates, and is recognized as a
global security threat. WCS’s approach embodies a long-term commitment to
government partners for counterwildlife trafficking and the protection of
landscapes critical for biodiversity.
WILDLIFE CRIME LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE
The Wildlife Crime Leadership Initiative combines international best-practice
with highly context-specific instruction for government law enforcement leaders
in countering-wildlife trafficking. The program is a collaboration between law
enforcement instructors, subject matter experts, academics, and government law
enforcement training institutions. Delivery takes a blended approach, combining
in-person events (Covid- 19 mitigation measures dependent) with synchronous and
asynchronous online learning. Through this longterm leadership program,
officers receive training not only in operational skills to counter wildlife
trafficking, but also executive leadership & management skills and an
understanding of the value of wildlife. The participating officers are from
supervisory positions overseeing units that conduct counter wildlife
trafficking operations so instruction is very practical in nature; the officers
will most likely use what they learn immediately in their day-to-day work. An
instructional designer is required to coach and advise project teams
(comprising subject matter experts, national law enforcement training academy
staff and project staff) in designing courses that apply the most appropriate
adult education methods to the complex field of countering wildlife trafficking.
