Wildlife Crime Prevention (WCP) Zambia works with partners across landscapes to address wildlife and environmental crime and its impact on communities.

WCP works with partners for effective wildlife and environmental crime prosecution and sentencing.

Effective WCP communication increases awareness of wildlife and environment crimes and their impact on biodiversity, the economy and communities and supports women and youth in conservation.

WCP’s special analysis and special projects improve knowledge and the evidence base of wildlife and environmental crimes.
    Special projects involve rhino horn and bushmeat trade and big cat and pangolin poaching and trade.

WCP's Alinea Programme improves interdisciplinary collaboration across the Southern African region.

WCP supports DNPW through its rehabilitation centre for sick and injured pangolins so they can be released.

In collaboration with our partners, including government agencies and leaders, the public, the private sector, and local communities and stakeholders, we endeavour to reduce all aspects of illegal wildlife and timber trade, strengthen effective investigation and prosecution, and increase public awareness.
