Participants of this event got an exclusive sneak preview into the new E4J Module on Sustainable Livelihoods and Community Involvement in Preventing and Combating Wildlife, Forest and Fisheries Crime.

This session shared insights and ideas on how to teach on the role that local communities play in preventing and combating wildlife crime. While this event was inspired by cases from Namibia, it provided global insights.

Dr. Annette Hübschle drew upon material from the E4J University Module Series on Wildlife Crime and applied it in an interactive classroom-style setting. Using the material of this soon-to-be-published E4J Module, she taught on the history of conservation, community conservancies and structural drivers of illegal hunting. For the second part of the session, Dr. Hübschle invited guest speakers from Namibia who are working at community-level to combat wildlife crime to share their insights with the class.

This session offered invaluable insights for everyone interested in wildlife crime, community involvement and remote teaching in general.
