PeunPa’s Mission : |
| |
To decimate the illegal
wildlife trade and end the tide of
habitat destruction |
| |
Nature crimes are robbing
the world of its life-supporting resources.
Organized syndicates of plunder the
planet’s national parks and wildlife
sanctuaries with virtual impunity
in areas where law enforcement is
poorly supported, lax, or non-existent.
Their reach extends into national
parks and wildlife sanctuaries and
they deliver illegal wildlife products
to every corner of the globe. |
Anti-Poaching and Anti-Trafficking
Work |
|
Poaching and trafficking
in animals, trees and other plants
is not simply a matter of national
or regional concern. It is an illegal
trade of global magnitude whose value
is surpassed only by the arms and
drugs trade.
PeunPa supports the anti-poaching
efforts of rangers in protected areas
and the anti-trafficking efforts of
law enforcement officers in cities
and rural areas. We engage with local
communities around the protected areas,
where most poachers originate, to
make them more aware of the need for
nature conservation and to assist
them in developing alternative income-generating
occupations.
PeunPa also conducts assessments of
protection and training requirements
for protected areas throughout Southeast
Asia. Based on each assessment, we
develop comprehensive training and
protection plans, tailored specifically
to each protected area. We also conduct
assessments and develop training programs
for anti-trafficking officers and
units based in cities and at international
ports and airports. |

Reduce consumer demand: Awareness,
Education and Events |

The
illegal wildlife trade is a multi-million
dollar business. Every year, hundreds
of thousands of wild animals are
illegally transported across the
region on their way to misery or
death. To address the problem, PeunPa
teams up with JWT, one of the world’s
largest advertising firms, to produce
campaigns include series of public
announcements by local celebrities
and politician and advertising campaigns
to stop illegal wildlife trade.
The latest collaborative effort
with JWT launched in 2007 by the
Thai Government’s aim under the
ASEAN-Wildlife Enforcement Network
(ASEAN-WEN) to combat the wildlife
crime in an urban area. The campaign,
called “Sold Out”, warns if we let
the illegal wildlife trade continues,
the animals will disappear from
the wild and no amount of money
can bring them back again. Remember
“Every time you buy, nature pays” |
|
| You can help stop this. Don’t buy
endangered wildlife. Don’t support
the illegal wildlife trade. Help us
financially or practically. Participate
in our education programs or join
us in various awareness campaign events.
If you have information about illegal
wildlife, report to your local authorities.
