Enforcement Strategies

Assisting communities in transitioning from illegal activities harmful to wildlife to sustainable, biodiversity-friendly livelihoods.

Designing and implementing targeted programs to actively encourage specific behavioural shifts—such as reducing demand for illegal wildlife products—in key communities.

Safeguarding borders against invasive species and zoonotic diseases through continuous monitoring, control, and rapid response.

Enhancing training, operational capacity, and resources for enforcement agencies to detect, investigate, prosecute, and mitigate wildlife crimes.

Improving intelligence gathering, data-sharing platforms, and cross-border information exchange.

Coordinating multi-agency investigations and enforcement operations, often in collaboration with international partners.

Conducting research, collecting and analyzing data, and developing analytical toolkits to inform Caribbean wildlife enforcement.

Strengthening wildlife laws, closing legal loopholes, and ensuring policy prioritisation.

Formalising national-level wildlife enforcement taskforces integrated within a broader regional framework.

Coordinating cross-sector collaboration, establishing governance structures, and ensuring unified action among diverse stakeholders.

Providing specialised support, including programme and project design, and developing shared resources and tools.

Providing immediate care, rehabilitation, and sanctuary for confiscated or injured wildlife, and safely releasing rehabilitated animals back into suitable natural habitats.
