AWF donated an array of forensic investigation equipment and accessories aimed at bridging the resource gap that most trained experts have identified as high-priority items. The activity is part of AWF collaboration with KWS on four major projects to combat the illegal wildlife trade, with the Wildlife Cybercrime Investigation Program funded by the Batten Foundation being one of the highlighted programs at the handover. Part of capacity building has includes training and certification of seven KWS officers on Cellebrite (an important tool used for extracting digital evidence from mobile devices and computers). Cellebrite is the leader in digital intelligence and investigative analytics, partnering with public and private organizations to transform how they collect, review, analyze and manage data in investigations to protect and save lives, accelerate justice, and ensure data security.
