We can dismantle trade in illicit wildlife products if we keep connected throughout our nations

Our own Gladys Kamasanyu was last week honored to speak about her successes at a virtual Executive Forum on Wildlife Trafficking organized by the International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) Roswell – New Mexico and Gaborone – Botswana in partnership with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for African Delegates. Gladys is an alumni of ILEA Roswell where she attended a high level training on Transnational Wildlife Trafficking in June 2019. She was the Head of the Uganda delegation that had delegates from the Uganda Judiciary, Uganda Wildlife Authority, Uganda Revenue Authority (Customs Department) and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. The training was attended by delegates from Uganda, Kenya, Namibia, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. This gave Gladys an opportunity to be part of an international network of persons determined to dismantle trade in illicit wildlife products through well planned and coordinated efforts. Since then her efforts in fighting wildlife crime have been immense.
