Abstract
Revised addition of the toolkit. The present version of the Wildlife and Forest Crime Analytic Toolkit is an initial attempt to provide
a comprehensive overview for understanding the main issues related to environmental offences and
for analysing preventive and criminal justice responses to wildlife and forest offences in a given
country. Efforts have been made to provide a framework through which measures for prevention
and response can be analysed and understood as the basis for an effective national response to
wildlife and forest offences.
The Toolkit is designed mainly to assist government officials in wildlife and forestry administration,
Customs and other relevant enforcement agencies. It will help them to conduct a comprehensive
analysis of possible means and measures to protect wildlife and forests and monitor their use and
thus, to identify technical assistance needs. In this sense, the Toolkit may also be used as training
material for law enforcers. In addition, other stakeholders at the international and national levels, as
well as civil society, may find the Toolkit useful regarding their daily responsibilities.
The Toolkit can be used effectively to address (a) a wide range of wildlife and forest offences, including
illegal logging and illegal trade in timber and a lack of adherence to the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and, (b) the usefulness
of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the United Nations
Convention against Corruption.
