Combating trafficking of precious timber in Madagascar's northeast Mamabay Landscape through community based conservation initiatives The purpose of this project is to counter wildlife trafficking of precious timber species (ebony and rosewood) in the Mamabay landscape in northeastern Madagascar by building the capacity of local community actors in wildlife conservation and field-based Government agents in effective enforcement and prosecution. This project is intended to conserve ebony and rosewood species (Dalbergia and Diospyros ssp.) that are found throughout the landscape by addressing the illegal extraction and trafficking of the 111 known species found within the Makira and Masoala protected areas and in the community forests surrounding the parks. Specific activities include (i) development and scaling of standardized training tools based on SMART law enforcement monitoring for new community ranger groups across the landscape to increase professionalism; (ii) developing and implementing training tools for Government agents in the use of law enforcement data to develop robust legal cases so that trafficking cases bought before the judiciary are less likely than currently to be dismissed for technical reasons; (iii) creating of a formal network of community ranger groups across the landscape to increase motivation, reduce sense of isolation, and facilitate exchanges of experiences; and (iv) development and trialing of anonymous SMS based platform for reporting of trafficking by community members to feed information to Park managers and Government forestry agents.
Use of SMART conservation software to combat illegal hunting of Silky Sifaka lemurs (Propithecus candidus) in Makira Natural Park, Madagascar This project will reduce hunting pressures on Silky Sifaka within the Makira Natural Park. Specific objectives include: (1) Improve capacity of Park staff and local communities to implement law enforcement monitoring; (2) Implement a tailored LEM / SMART system and use the results to develop management actions to stem illegal hunting.

Reducing the Illegal Wildlife Trade in Ploughshare Tortoises Through Effective Community-Based Conservation Strategies Partnered with Strong Law Enforcement The purpose of this project is to save the ploughshare tortoise from extinction. The main direct threat is poaching for the illegal pet trade. Our responses have to be effective at a number of levels in the field, nationally and internationally. The focus of this project is to counter trafficking of ploughshare tortoises in the Baly Bay Region of Madagascar, through enhanced effectiveness of community-based field patrolling, increased security for patrollers and staff in the field, enhanced protection of wild animals in the core released population, and the pursuit and prosecution of poachers and smugglers in the regional capital of Mahajanga.Specific activities will include: (1) improving patrolling in Baly Bay National Park to more effectively catch poachers and implement electronic data collection for the patrollers to improve management of the patrols teams; (2) improving security for patrollers and National Park staff by providing specific security training, scoping whether dog training is feasible, and installing covert surveillance technology; (3) placing additional capacity in the core release site; (4) improving success prosecuting smugglers in regional courts based on established successes prosecuting tortoise dealers in the nations capital Antananarivo.

Consolidating Sea Turtle conservation in the Azores (Costa 4). THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT IS TO COLLABORATE WITH FISHERMAN
Consolidating Sea Turtle conservation in the Azores 4 (COSTA 4) The purpose of the project is to collaborate with fisherman and the Azores Regional Directorate of Marine Affairs to protect and recover the NW Atlantic loggerhead nesting population. This nesting population is the largest loggerhead population in the world and nests primarily in the SE U.S with lesser nesting in Mexico, Bahamas, and Cuba. Hatchlings from nesting beaches passively migrate to the Eastern Atlantic on the Florida current where they spend several years as juveniles before migrating by to NW Atlantic coastal waters. The Azores is a particularly important foraging grounds for juvenile loggerheads where they interact with long line fisheries operations and experience accidental capture causing injury and mortality. The intent of this project is to reduce mortality of loggerheads from LL fisheries. Activities include: 1) placing two observers on LL fishing vessels for 12 months to collect additional bycatch data; 2) analyze these data and previously collected bycatch data to identify critical interaction zones; 3) restructure the turtle tagging activities in cooperation with local partners and expand tagging program with new partners; and 4) promote best practices for safe handling and release of accidentally captured turtles by LL fisherman through training workshops and brochures.
