Education/Communication/Raising awareness
|
Pro Bono Executive Director Stephen M. Kohn has conducted numerous international training sessions in collaboration with other international NGOs in order to raise awareness of U.S. wildlife whistleblower laws which can be applied to wildlife trafficking. We plan to continue with further educational initiatives in hopes of raising awareness to the possibilities presented by the application of whistleblower laws to the wildlife crime arena in the upcoming year, and welcome IUCN members and IUCN as an organization to partner with us on this issue.
