<p>The UK is committed to combatting the illegal wildlife trade (IWT), including by
investing £30 million between 2022 and 2025 to support global efforts.</p><p> </p><p>Our
IWT Challenge Fund continues to support projects that benefit park rangers and drive
innovative ways to tackle poaching. Projects have included expanding aerial surveillance
to support ranger deployments in the Rungwa, Kizigo and Muhesi Game Reserves in central
Tanzania, and enhanced use of innovative techniques to combat poaching and wildlife
trafficking at the Ngulia rhino sanctuary in Kenya. More information on these projects
and others is available <a href="https://iwt.challengefund.org.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>We have also funded the training of rangers (Op CORDED) in partnership with
the British Army, helping wildlife parks work together to strengthen law enforcement
and share information to disrupt smuggling and poaching across Africa.</p>
