This case study showcases Conserving Natural Capital and Enhancing Collaborative Management of Transboundary Resources in East Africa (CONNECT) activity's efforts to raise awareness of the economic, intrinsic, and ecosystem-service value of living wildlife and ultimately mitigate poaching for the commercial wild meat market across Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda. Approximately one-third of CONNECT’s budget is allocated for work related to wild meat, where the project aims to raise awareness of the value of wildlife, strengthen regional policy frameworks for more collaborative transboundary natural resource management, and improve the enforcement and prosecution of wildlife crime.
