F24AS00181 - MENTOR – HAWLT (Holistically Addressing WildLife Trafficking)

The MENTOR-HALWT (Holistically Addressing WildLife Trafficking) conservation fellowship program focuses on holistically addressing wildlife trafficking, with an emphasis on integrating robust social science to understand and address the human dimensions of the issue. This inaugural MENTOR-HAWLT program will take place in Kenya, a land rich in biodiversity and characterized by varied landscapes and thousands of wild plant and animal species, most living outside protected areas and many classified as vulnerable or endangered. The goal of MENTOR-HAWLT is to develop capacity to plan, implement, and evaluate holistic approaches to reduce wildlife trafficking that include evidence-based interventions designed to address the complex human dimensions of the issue.
