The workshop focusses on the problem of wildlife crime in Europe and wants to raise awareness for illegal actions directed towards protected animals, especially large carnivores. The illegal killing of protected and endangered species remains one of the key challenges in their conservation and recovery. Throughout Europe there are similar difficulties in preventing and prosecuting wildlife crime especially the lack of knowledge on the extent of crime cases, a lack of awareness and capacity to comply with EU environmental law and as a result a very low rate of successfully prosecuted offenses.
Through this workshop the LIFE EuroLargeCarnivores project wants to provide a space for authorities responsible for fauna conservation, law enforcement authorities, crime investigators, prosecutors, forensic scientists, conservation actors and stakeholders to exchange about their experiences in preventing, investigating, documenting and prosecuting wildlife crime cases.
Speakers from different geographical and professional backgrounds will give insights into their experiences of dealing with wildlife crime. After each talk there will be time for the participants to raise questions as well as a space for further discussion at the end of the workshop.
