China law enforcement support (landscape level)

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

UNDP is supporting the development and implementation of multiple GEF-financed protected area projects, including the “China’s Protected Area System Reform (C-PAR)” program, “Main Streams of Life - Wetland Protected Area System Strengthening for Biodiversity Conservation” program, and the “Strengthening the effectiveness of the protected area system in Qinghai Province” project. These are implemented with a range of partners including the Ministry of Environmental Protection, FECO, the State Forestry Administration and multiple provincial governments. While the illegal wildlife trade is not a core focus of projects, many include activities to strengthen law enforcement at targeted protected areas.

UNDP is developing a GEF-financed regional project across tiger range states titled “South-South Cooperation for Sustainability of the Global Tiger Recovery Programme” that will be implemented with the Global Tiger Forum. See section below on national level law enforcement support for details.
