Explore our evaluation of the Global Wildlife Program and key findings in this video. Launched by the Global Environment Facility in 2015 to combat illegal wildlife trade, the program has expanded from 21 projects across 19 countries to a broader Wildlife Conservation for Development Program under GEF-8. It now addresses issues like human-wildlife conflict and zoonotic diseases. Despite deploying advanced technologies and achieving satisfactory pilot outcomes, challenges remain in knowledge sharing, monitoring, and adapting to pandemic disruptions. The evaluation reveals the need for improved policy coherence, gender integration, and Indigenous engagement for future success.
