Success Story: Building a case against wildlife crime in Mozambique
Mozambique tackled wildlife crime head on, to reduce trafficking including for ivory and rhino horn, and to support conservation in the country. Committed to protect endangered species and to deter wildlife crime, Mozambique in 20XX requested ICCWC support with the implementation of the Wildlife and Forest Crime Analytic Toolkit. Based on the results of this work it has since improved legislation, appointed environmental crime prosecutors, reduced courtroom wait times, and increased sentencing for wildlife crimes. ICCWC also supported Mozambique in the development of a Reference Guide to provide rangers, investigators and prosecutors with the necessary skills and knowledge to build stronger court cases and to ensure that the law is enforced in all regions of the country.
