This guide is a high-level "how-to" for carrying out a corruption risk assessment in a conservation law enforcement context, using the Map, Characterize, Assess, and Recommend (MCAR) approach designed by the Basel Institute on Governance. The first section covers planning: the resources, timing, and other considerations for setting up the assessment. The second section lays out each step of the assessment, with tips, basic instructions, and implementation recommendations for each stage. Finally, the annexes provide sample supporting materials, including a simplified process diagram and map, a sample questionnaire for interviews, and a basic confidentiality agreement.

This TNRC Guide shares practical knowledge for program designers and implementers to reduce corruption‚'s impact on conservation.

A color-changing lizard, a thick-thumbed bat, a poisonous snake named after a Chinese mythological goddess, an orchid that looks like a Muppet, and a tree frog with skin that resembles thick moss are five of the 380 new species described by scientists in the Greater Mekong region of Southeast Asia in 2021 and 2022, according to a new report releasing soon by WWF. With many of the species already under threat of extinction from human activities, WWF is calling on governments in the region to increase protection for these rare, amazing creatures and their habitats.

During the second half of 2022, WWF conducted a baseline assessment of 41 banks‚' seafood-related sector policies to understand how banks are currently managing E&S risks in their seafood portfolios, and where, specifically, additional support may be most needed. This report highlights key findings from this assessment, provides actionable recommendations for banks, and directs readers to practical resources to guide next steps.
