About us
The People Not Poaching online learning platform aims to support community-based approaches to tackling illegal wildlife trade (IWT).
With contributions from practitioners and communities, we aim to gather a global evidence base that will build awareness and knowledge-sharing about community approaches to reducing IWT.
This platform will:
- Document different approaches - successful and unsuccessful
- Bring together useful resources, and
- Provide updates on key events and policy developments.
