Project objectives

The project objectives are to firstly improve the quantity – and quality – of law enforcement effort against illegal Gibbon poachers and traders. Secondly to increase the number of arrests of illegal poachers and traders in Nam Et-Phou Louey, Endau-Rompin and Bukit Barisan Selatan; and finally to increase the number of prosecutions of arrested poachers and traders.

Overall, it is hoped that this improved law enforcement effort will significantly mitigate the threat of hunting to Gibbons species in all three landscapes.

This project is implemented by Wildlife Conservation Society.
