Let’s be honest: Death plays a significant part in wildlife conservation. Conservationists can spend years protecting wild species and their habitats, and suddenly one illegal poisoning incident can wipe out an entire vulture colony in the Republic of North Macedonia, poachers in Bulgaria can kill a recently reintroduced Cinereous Vulture or combining these illegal practices can bring the Egyptian Vulture on the age of extinction in Greece. But these animals don’t have to die in vain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Urgent need to prioritize and prosecute wildlife crime<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

Poisoning, poaching, trapping, collision, electrocution and illegal trade \u2014 all examples of severe wildlife crimes \u2014 are overlooked and under-prosecuted. Why is that? Well for starters, victims of these crimes don’t have a voice, making them powerless unless people care. Secondly, when it comes to solving these crimes, investigators face several setbacks such as remote crime scenes with degrading evidence, unreliable or no witnesses, nonexistent protocols and lack of specific training. It’s urgent to prioritize and fight these crimes head-on by conducting proper investigations and achieving convictions to deter similar cases from occurring again since impunity is often an invitation for people to continue to kill and poison wildlife. This is where the\u00a0<\/span>Wildlife Crime Academy (WCA)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0comes in to bridge the knowledge and capacity gaps, and change the attitude towards wildlife crime, to be treated like any other crime.<\/span><\/p>

Last week, The Spanish Government, the\u00a0<\/span>Junta de Andaluc\u00eda<\/span><\/a>, together with an international NGO, the\u00a0<\/span>Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF)<\/span><\/a>, implemented the Basic Course of the first-ever Wildlife Crime Academy in Spain within the scope of the\u00a0<\/span>BalkanDetox LIFE<\/span><\/a>\u00a0project. This event marked a milestone \u2014 not only did it take place during a global pandemic, but it’s also the first training of its kind achieving real engagement and providing necessary skills to relevant stakeholders to effectively fight wildlife crime in several European regions. This time, a total of 34 professionals working in conservation, law enforcement and forensic science travelled from Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, the Republic of North Macedonia, Serbia and Spain to learn how to investigate wildlife crime, from Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) and forensic analysis to the final procedure at the Court.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tWe did our best to organize this event, investing all we have. The Junta de Andaluc\u00eda generously shared their best practice experience. The only thing we asked in return from the participants is to proudly wear their WCA membership card, their commitment and engagement to implement this knowledge in their country.\" Jovan Andevski, VCF<\/b><\/span>\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Participants will reunite once again during the Advanced Course foreseen for autumn to enhance their specialization in their respective areas of expertise. The goal of the WCA is to provide the opportunity to as many people as possible across Europe and eventually the world to receive the training necessary to combat this severe threat so that less wildlife dies from these crimes.<\/span><\/p>

Special thanks<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

The WCA received funding from the European Commission’s\u00a0<\/span>LIFE Programme<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(BalkanDetox LIFE and LIFE with Vultures), the\u00a0<\/span>MAVA Foundation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Euronatur<\/span><\/a>. It became a reality thanks to the support of\u00a0<\/span>Ministerio para la Transici\u00f3n Ecol\u00f3gica y el Reto Demogr\u00e1fico<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the organization of the\u00a0<\/span>Vulture Conservation Foundation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<\/span>Junta de Andaluc\u00eda<\/span><\/a> (Regional Government of Andalusia). It also received the support from Delegaci\u00f3n Territorial de Ja\u00e9n, Natural Park Sierras de Cazorla and from the Municipality of Cazorla.<\/span><\/p>

We want to thank the participants who attended the WCA to build capacities for fighting wildlife crime in their respective countries. We also want to acknowledge the professors from the Junta de Andaluc\u00eda for sharing their expertise: I\u00f1igo Fajardo, Irene Zorrilla, Jose Joaquin Aniceto del Castillo, Alicia Moreno Fernandez, Alfredo Lineros, Justo Martin Martin, Jose Miguel Antonaya Bellido and Salva Pacheco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
