Wildlife crime remains an international conservation management issue that threatens ecotourism, ecological balance and biodiversity. The industry of illegal hunting and trade in wildlife and wildlife products is estimated to be worth US$50-US$150 billion per annum, according to the United Nations Environment Programme, and continues to pose a threat towards globally-endangered wildlife species. The escalation of wildlife crime also threatens national and local economies, the criminal justice and security systems, and public health. In addition, illegal wildlife and wildlife products' trade enhance the spread of emerging zoonotic diseases, which pose a threat to the target animals, as well as human populations and their economic activities. Over the last decade, Namibia has recorded an increase in wildlife crime on high-value species, with pangolin topping as the most-trafficked mammal every year. More recently, new trends of environmental crimes related to flora have been identified. These present a unique challenge to law enforcement because these crimes are transnational and/or transboundary.
