PROJECT 1

AUTOMATED X-RAY SCANNER IMAGE DETECTION TO COUNTER WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING (PROJECT VIKELA)

BACKGROUND

The illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products has grown exponentially in recent years, largely driven by corruption and weak governance, rising demand in Asia, growing wealth, and expanding trade routes. Wildlife traffickers exploit the increasing connectivity of global transportation and gaps in law enforcement to minimize the risk of detection and undermine the rule of law. High value wildlife products are primarily trafficked in air transport. This project will improve the detection of trafficked products at points of departure using automated detection technology. The key enforcement stakeholders in these countries regarding wildlife crime and anti-smuggling will either be directly engaged or coordinated with, depending on their roles and responsibilities. The overall goal of this project is to reduce the ability of criminal groups to carry out and profit from poaching and trafficking of protected animals and their body parts originating from or transiting Africa.

Project Vikela aims to demonstrate that the use of an algorithm in x-ray scanner systems for wildlife products can complement and improve the detection capacity of enforcement authorities without distracting from current security screening processes. The Project Vikela team have successfully piloted the algorithm and have established ways in which this new and powerful detection tool can be operationalized. Success was defined as getting this technology working with accuracy on the relevant equipment and ensuring a law enforcement response to react to detection.
