Wildlife crime is one of the greatest threats to environmental and human security across the globe. In Australia, the illegal harvesting, killing, and trade of wild animals and plants endangers the country’s unique biodiversity and poses serious biosecurity risks to natural and agricultural systems. This Fellowship will deliver the intelligence tools and technologies, in wildlife forensics and cyber security, that are required for step-change reductions in wildlife crime in Australia, and Asia-Pacific. The project will establish new approaches for raising public awareness of the dangers of wildlife crime and provide much needed stewardship to protect Australia’s environmental assets and natural capital from current and future threats.

野生动物犯罪是地球仪对环境和人类安全的最大威胁之一。在澳大利亚，非法采集、杀害和买卖野生动植物危及该国独特的生物多样性，并对自然和农业系统构成严重的生物安全风险。该奖学金将提供野生动物法医学和网络安全方面的情报工具和技术，这些工具和技术是澳大利亚和亚太地区逐步减少野生动物犯罪所必需的。该项目将建立新的方法，提高公众对野生动物犯罪危险的认识，并提供急需的管理，以保护澳大利亚的环境资产和自然资本免受当前和未来的威胁。
