FIJI AND PAPAU NEW GUINEA
Indicator Framework assessments in 2023 resulted in several outcomes based on the
recommendations. In Papua New Guinea, the Conservation and Environment Protection
Agency (CEPA) initiated a review of its International Trade (Fauna and Flora) Act 1979 and
the Crocodile Trade (Protection) Act 1974. Training on species identification and wildlife
trafficking was also delivered to agencies on Papua New Guinea’s borders. In Fiji, the
Department of Environment created a Wildlife Crime Enforcement Task Force to develop
Standard Operating Procedures for seizures, investigations and prosecutions related to
wildlife crime.
LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
ICCWC has supported the implementation of more than two thirds of the
recommendations made in the Toolkit report for Lao PDR. For example, the Toolkit
recommended DNA registration of all captive tigers to prevent illegal trade. ICCWC
subsequently supported national authorities and TRACE to develop a DNA database. In
2022, this contributed to enforcement efforts when Thai police seized four trafficked tiger
cubs and DNA analysis matched them to breeding farms in Lao PDR using the DNA
database.
SYNERGIES WITH THE GLOBAL WILDLIFE PROGRAM
ICCWC is collaborating with the Global Wildlife Program, under the leadership of the World
Bank and funded by the the Global Environment Facility (GEF), to align ICCWC efforts with
countries’ GEF investments. For example, the ICCWC Indicator Framework has guided
national responses in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Thailand. GEF-7 and GEF-8 projects in
Madagascar and Malaysia were designed to address enforcement and governance gaps
identified through ICCWC Toolkit assessments.
