What Does It Take to Make Wild Meat Regulations Work? USAID Wildlife TRAPS in Tanzania
The Wildlife Trafficking Response, Assessment, and Priority Setting (TRAPS) activity focuses on tackling wildlife trafficking in Africa and Asia. This case study highlights Wildlife TRAPS' initiatives in Tanzania, where efforts are aimed at enhancing supply chain management and traceability, improving wild meat regulation and laws, and conducting social behavior change campaigns. The goal is to mitigate the threats posed by zoonotic diseases and curb the unsustainable demand for wild meat.
In 2022, USAID collected this case study, as part of a series that looks at USAID-funding activities from around the world.
