From: Systematic review of situational prevention methods for crime against species
Increase the effort | Increase the risks | Reduce the rewards | Reduce provocations | remove excuses |
---|---|---|---|---|
Harden Targets e.g. GPS collars on vulnerable animals | Extend Guardianship e.g. Gunshot detectors | Conceal targets e.g. Translocate animals away from villages | Reduce frustrations and stress e.g. Community outreach | Set Rules e.g. Memorandums of understanding for wildlife use |
Control access to facilities e.g. Fence National Park | Assist Natural Surveillance e.g. Rewarding informants | Remove targets e.g. Rhino dehorning | Avoid disputes e.g. Elephant trenches | Post instructions e.g. No Trespassing signs |
Screen exits e.g. Sniffer dogs at airports | Reduce Anonymity e.g. Automatic number plate readers on park roads | Identify property e.g. Require RFID chips for legal wildlife exports | Reduce emotional arousal e.g. Provide alternative sources of income/protein | Alert conscience e.g. Clearly mark game reserve borders |
Deflect Offenders e.g. Checkpoints along protected area roads | Utilize place managers e.g. Encourage lodge owners to report suspicious activity | Disrupt markets e.g. Ban international trade | Neutralize peer pressure e.g. Conservation education | Assist compliance e.g. Allow regulated hunting |
Control tools/weapons e.g. Limit public sale of spears/traps/nets | Strengthen formal surveillance e.g. More ranger foot patrols | Deny benefits e.g. Add dye to Rhino horn | Discourage imitation e.g. Forbid profit sharing with communities producing poachers | Control drugs and Alcohol e.g. Substance abuse programs for communities |
