Course Description
Did you know that species all around the world are becoming extinct 1,000 to 10,000 times of their natural rate? According to leading experts in the field of illegal wildlife trade, we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction. Habitat loss and fragmentation, deforestation, human-wildlife conflicts, wars, and climate change are among the major factors for this decline in biodiversity.
Poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking are also among the major causes that lead to the extinction of various species. Wildlife crime is a big business. Run by dangerous international networks, wildlife and animal parts are trafficked much like illegal drugs and arms. By its very nature, it is almost impossible to obtain reliable figures for the value of the illegal wildlife trade. For example, between 2010 and 2015, the poaching of Rhinos for their horn increased by almost 8,000% in South Africa.
Some examples of illegal wildlife trade are well known, such as poaching of elephants for ivory and tigers for their skins and bones. However, countless other species are similarly overexploited, from marine turtles to timber trees.
In this Certificate Program, you will acquire relevant skills and knowledge about this illegal wildlife trade and how to counter it. This course focuses on the convergence of illegal wildlife trade with financial crimes like corruption, money laundering, and terrorist financing.
This Certificate Program will also shed some light on several important red flags related to identifying the illegal wildlife trade. In addition, this course discusses anti-financial crime programs and methods of anti-money laundering (AML) or combating terrorist financing (CTF) to the extent that they are concerned with illegal wildlife trade.
