Fahlman, Robert C.2015-04-162015-04-162015-03https://hdl.handle.net/10986/21754This assessment concludes that individual nation as well as regional and transnational organizations now have severely limited to nonexistent capacities to effectively respond to growing threat levels. It proposes a networked intelligence-led strategy at national, regional, and transnational levels to more effectively control, reduce, and, more importantly, prevent the wholesale slaughter into extinction of the African elephant population within the next decade. It concludes by outlining the requirements for designing and implementing a long-term sustainable elephant crime intelligence system, including the required governance arrangements, and proposes the roles and functions that key organizations could play at the national, regional, and transnational levels. Currently, a robust intelligence system addressing elephant poaching and illegal trade of ivory at all phases within the intelligence process is either nonexistent or seriously limited in capacity (the key phases in the intelligence process are planning and direction; collection; evaluation; collation; analysis; reporting/dissemination/action). Therefore, the project examines the need for designing and implementing a long-term sustainable elephant crime intelligence system and governance model as well as assessing the roles and functions that key organizations could play at the national, regional, and international levels within such an intelligence system and accompanying governance model.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACADEMIC RESEARCHACTION PLANAFRICAN ELEPHANTAFRICAN ELEPHANT POPULATIONSAFRICAN ELEPHANTSANALYTICAL TOOLSANIMALSASSESSMENT REPORTASSETSATTRIBUTESBASICBEST PRACTICEBODY OF INFORMATIONBOUNDARIESBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS MODELCAPACITY BUILDINGCAREER DEVELOPMENTCAREER TRAININGCIVIL SOCIETYCLIMATE CHANGECOLLABORATIONCOLLECTION OF INFORMATIONCOMMUNITIESCOMPETENCYCOMPONENTSCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCONFIDENCECONSERVATION ISSUESCONSERVATION OF NATURECOPYINGCORE COMPETENCIESCORRUPTCORRUPT OFFICIALSCORRUPTIONCRIME AGAINST WILDLIFECRIMESCRIMINALCRIMINAL ACTIVITYCRIMINAL ENTERPRISECRIMINALITYCRIMINALSCUSTOMS AUTHORITYDECISION MAKINGDISCUSSIONDOCUMENTSDOMAINSE-MAILECOSYSTEMSELEPHANTELEPHANT CONFLICTELEPHANT NUMBERSELEPHANT POACHINGELEPHANT RANGEELEPHANTSENFORCEMENT AGENCIESENFORCEMENT AGENCYEXTINCTIONFAUNAFIELD SITESFLORAFORESTFRAUDGLOBALIZATIONGOOD GOVERNANCEGOOD PRACTICEGREENHOUSE GASHABITAT LOSSHARMHUMAN INTELLIGENCEIDEASILLEGAL KILLINGILLEGAL POACHINGILLEGAL TRADEINFORMATION MANAGEMENTINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIESINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINITIATIVEINNOVATIONINSIGHTSINTEGRATIONINTEGRITYINTELLIGENCEINTELLIGENCE ANALYSTINTELLIGENCE ANALYSTSINTELLIGENCE COMMUNITYINTELLIGENCE MODELINTELLIGENCE PERSONNELINTELLIGENCE POLICYINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL LAWINTERNATIONAL TERRORISTINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATORINVESTIGATORSISSUESIVORYIVORY TRADEKILLING OF ELEPHANTSKNOWLEDGE ASSETSKNOWLEDGE GAPSKNOWLEDGE SHARINGLAW ENFORCEMENTLAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIESLAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCYLAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITYLAWSLEADERSHIPLEADINGMANAGEMENT TOOLMEDIAMONEY LAUNDERINGMONOPOLYNATIONAL SECURITYNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNETWORK ANALYSISNETWORKINGNETWORKSOPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCEORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURESPATTERN RECOGNITIONPERSONAL GAINPOACHERSPOLICEPOLICE OFFICERSPOLICE SERVICEPOLICE SERVICESPOPULATION DECLINEPOPULATION ESTIMATESPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION SURVEYPROCUREMENTPROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONSPROSECUTIONSPROSECUTORSPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC SAFETYPUBLISHINGRETENTIONRHINORHINO HORNRULE OF LAWRUMORSECURITY PROTOCOLSSERVICE DELIVERYSOURCES OF INFORMATIONSPECIESSPECIMENSSUPPLY CHAINSYSTEMS DEVELOPMENTTERRORIST GROUPTERRORIST ORGANIZATIONSTHINKINGTHREATTHREAT ASSESSMENTTHREAT ASSESSMENTSTHREATSTRADE IN IVORYTRANSPORTATIONTYPE OF KNOWLEDGEVIOLENCEWARNINGWEAPONSWEBSITEWILDLIFEWILDLIFE CONSERVATIONWILDLIFE CRIMEWILDLIFE POACHINGWILDLIFE SPECIALISTSWILDLIFE TRADEWILDLIFE TRADE MONITORINGReportWorld Bank10.1596/21754
