PW
Protect Wildlife project will provide focused effort and resources to align conservation policy with on-the-ground action
and enforcement. It is designed to contribute to the reduction of threats to biodiversity and of poaching and use of illegally
harvested wildlife and wildlife products. It adopts a multipronged and integrated ecosystems management approach that in the
