| Summary |
Governments around the world should work with each other, local residents and the private sector to reduce poaching and wildlife crimes that are funneling an estimated $19 billion annually to terrorists and other criminals, a Stimson Center report issued today recommends. The report - based on projects Stimson is running in East Africa - says that "wildlife crime is no longer only a challenge to conservation, biodiversity and development. Poaching is - just as the illegal trade in arms, drugs and counterfeit goods - a serious threat to national and international security and economic development." The Stimson study recommends: Launching programs in partnership with regional actors against poaching and other wildlife crime, along with improved coordination of U.S. and international security and development assistance.
