  • Countering Wildlife Trafficking Through Automated Detection at Ports

    Autodetection has the power to revolutionize wildlife trafficking detection, interception, and deterrence at ports. The lack of automated solutions at air and sea ports makes it difficult to address wildlife trafficking with the same efficiency applied to other security threats. By leveraging technology to increase law enforcement capacity, we can help them prioritize where and how to concentrate efforts to curb transnational wildlife crime.
