K9 Anti-Poaching Unit: Protecting Indonesia’s Endangered Wildlife
JAAN’s K9 Anti-Poaching Unit is safeguarding Indonesia’s last remaining Javan and Sumatran rhinos from extinction. By deploying specially trained dogs to track poachers across land and water, we strengthen anti-poaching efforts in critical areas like Way Kambas National Park. With your support, we can expand this project, ensuring these endangered species are protected and poachers are brought to justice.
The Rhisotope Project: Help us reduce the demand for rhino horn with science
Rhisotope is revolutionising wildlife conservation by using nuclear science to combat wildlife crime. By inserting small amounts of radioisotopes into live rhino horns, traffickers can be tracked down, making it harder for criminals to profit from illegal activities. What may sound crazy at first, could very well be the future of biodiversity conservation. At The Wildlife Forensic Fund we are actively seeking investments to support this remarkable project.
Training Rangers to Combat Wildlife Crime
With their firsthand knowledge of wildlife crime, park rangers play a crucial role in preventing and addressing such crimes. The data they collect is essential for mapping illegal activities, assessing threats to wildlife, and enhancing the efficiency of patrols. Rangers are a valuable source of information and serve as frontline authorities in combating wildlife crime. At The Wildlife Forensic Fund, we are actively seeking your support for this remarkable project.
