TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR STRENGTHENING REGIONAL COOPERATION FOR WILDLIFE PROTECTION

The regional development objective of the project is to assist the participating governments to build or enhance shared capacity, institutions, knowledge and incentives to jointly tackle illegal wildlife trade and improve management of endangered wildlife by addressing select regional conservation threats.
The three national objectives of the project are in line with national priorities related to biodiversity conservation and Bangladesh’s obligations under the Convention on Biodiversity. All three national objectives are also very much linked to the development objective of the regional project.
