This volume of case studies explores well-known and less well-known examples of both the highs and lows of engaging local communities in tackling illegal wildlife trade, highlighting that while community engagement is not a panacea, it can, under the right circumstances, be highly effective. This publication is dominated by case studies of initiatives to combat elephant poaching – a reflection of the scale and severity of this problem in some parts of Africa.
