| Overview : Globally Wildlife products and live animals trade continues to flourish due to low risk and high profitability. Ethiopia has been identified both as a source and key transit country for wildlife products and live animals. The Enhanced Management of Protected Area system Ethiopia Project (EMPA) is therefore seeking to implement solutions that will counter the threats to biodiversity and overcome the barriers to effective management of protected areas and to combat illegal wildlife trade. The main objective of this project is to build Ethiopia’s capacity for biodiversity conservation through increased effectiveness of protected area management and implementation of measures to reduce Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) and poaching. This objective will be achieved through the implementation of four project components: Component 1: Protected Area Management and biodiversity conservation. This component will focus on demonstrating how effective management of protected areas in Ethiopia can be achieved by targeting a small number of Protected Areas, given that the selected pilot sites are those protected areas in which key target species (elephants and big cats) are found; Component 2: Implementation of anti-trafficking measures. This component will focus on improving different aspects of law enforcement so as to increase the deterrent to illegal wildlife trafficking: Component 3: Landscape approach to forest and agro-biodiversity conservation. This component focuses on realizing the value of agro-biodiversity for the country and specifically for people living in the vicinity of the protected areas targeted in Component 1.
