Faced with an increase in cross-border wildlife offences over the past five years, Rwanda has adopted a technical toolkit to assist authorities in the judicial system to handle wildlife and other environmental crimes. Launched in early December 2022, the Rwanda Rapid Reference Guide on Wildlife and Environmental Crimes and Related Administrative Faults will help address the challenges of lack of evidence in prosecuting wildlife crimes, especially those committed in border communities. "The guide will help us curb wildlife crimes before they are too many to handle," said Jean Pierre Habarurema, the focal point for the prosecution of wildlife and environmental crimes at Rwanda Prosecution.
