Southeast Asia is a key source, transit, and destination area for illegal wildlife products. As the region acts as a lynchpin of the global wildlife trafficking supply chain, any successful effort to stop the global scourge of wildlife trafficking must include Southeast Asia. To that end, funds will support work that increases the ability of Southeast Asia to counter wildlife trafficking (CWT). The ultimate goal of this program is to increase Southeast Asia's will and ability to CWT and the criminal organizations that perpetrate these heinous crimes.
