Summary
The dramatic decline of DRC’s biodiversity, including its great ape populations, stems in large part from the systematic inability of the responsible government agencies to effectively tackle the destructive illegal wildlife trade (IWT). PASA will support the DRC government’s effort to counter this threat, raising the capacity and capability of multiple, regional agencies and local environmental organizations through structured training, network building and the development of tailored organisational systems and protocols that ensure a coherent, efficient response to the IWT.
