This meeting of senior police and customs officials from tiger range countries will identify and implement a plan of action. INTERPOL is organizing this workshop under the auspices of the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime (ICCWC), with a strategic goal and long term planning to strongly engage these officials in efforts to curb the illegal trade in tigers and other threatened species. The heads of police and customs agencies from the 13 countries with wild tigers will come together to address tiger crime, explore how the region’s key law enforcement agencies can contribute to ensuring that tigers never disappear as a result of the actions of criminals, and discuss how their efforts can best be supported by ICCWC.
