This database was developed under a project led by the IUCN Environmental Law Centre (ELC). ELC is an outposted unit of IUCN based in Bonn, Germany. It focuses on conceptual development of the law as well as technical assistance, capacity-building, and information dissemination.
The development of this database is supported by the German Polifund project to help combat poaching and illegal wildlife trade in Africa and Asia, measure implemented by GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). It combines the expertise and resources of five German ministries, international organisations and NGOs to combat poaching and the illegal trade in wildlife products (ivory and rhino-horn) in Africa and Asia.
The project was implemented in partnership with TRAFFIC.
