Landscape Conservation:In FY22 IFAW continued to make progress on our Room to Roam initiative in Africa to create safe pathways functional habitats and promote effective protected area management enabling wildlife to disperse and migrate across landscapes. We are fostering long-term partnerships with governments wildlife authorities communities private sector actors and other NGO in Kenya Malawi Zambia and Zimbabwe with expansion planned in further elephant range states. IFAW with funding from the United States Agency for International Development USAID has completed the implementation of a five-year Combating Wildlife Crime Project CWCP in the Malawi-Zambia transboundary landscape. The project successfully created a safer and more secure habitat making it possible to begin translocating animals to restore wildlife populations. 691 animals including 263 elephants were successfully translocated from Liwonde National Park to Kasungu National Park between June and August 2022. IFAW's support for improved wildlife protection through ranger training patrol kits mobility infrastructure and operational support has contributed to an 86% decrease in wild animals being poached in landscapes in which IFAW operated in FY22. Last year 14 partners implemented improved and best practices across our projects 29,161 square kilometers of land had approved and enforceable management plans and 18 habitat linkages for safe passage of animals were maintained and revitalized.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 8,298,776 including grants of $ 643,824 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
Wildlife Crime:IFAW combats global wildlife crime in every link in the illegal trade chain from source to transit to destination. IFAW's advocacy work supported significant policy achievements in FY22 including a US$ 5.9 million increase in federal support for wildlife crime prevention in the U.S. In FY22 globally IFAW provided training and mentorship to 517 law enforcement prosecution and judicial officers. With support from The U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs INL IFAW and local partners worked to protect wildlife and tackle illegal trade in Kenya Uganda and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through the Coalition to End Wildlife Trafficking Online IFAW works together with World Wildlife Fund WWF the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network TRAFFIC to help stop the trafficking of protected wildlife via their platforms. Between 2018 and 2021 the Coalition grew to more than 45 members training close to 2,500 company staff and blocking or removing more than 11 million posts and listings of illegal wildlife for sale. IFAW continued to empower Coalition members through IFAW toolkits with operation manuals enhancing the capacity of online technology and logistics companies to identify wildlife crimes. In FY22 IFAW's demand reduction campaigns in China resulted in more than US$ 21 million in in-kind media donations. In the US IFAW has joined with partners including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife to establish a confiscations network for the southern California region which is a hub for live animal trafficking.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 3,920,792 including grants of $ 192,511 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
Wildlife Rescue: IFAW's Wildlife Rescue team operates globally and strives to prevent the suffering and improve the welfare of animals. With 5,342 animals rescued and 3,460 animals released in FY22 our Wildlife Rescue program continues to make excellent progress in improving quality of life for animals around the world. The focus is on rescue rehabilitation release and monitoring of wildlife but we also work to share best practices provide training and develop response and animal rescue networks. In FY22 Beijing Raptor Rescue Center's 20th year the team brought 110 raptors of 20 different species into the facility for rehabilitation and care and released more than 100 raptors back to the wild. To tackle the indiscriminate shooting and taking of birds IFAW partnered with the Lebanese Association for Migratory Birds LAMB to launch Levant Operation for Bird Rescue LOBR. In the first two months 14 rescue operations were performed which included owls and migratory soaring birds like long-legged buzzards and short-toed snake eagles. IFAW's Life Animals Seized in Trade initiative with Freeland Foundation lead organization and WWF continued implementing the U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs INL funded project to disrupt the illegal wildlife trade in Malaysia the Philippines and Indonesia by providing species ID technology to accurately and quickly identify and care for confiscated wildlife and ideally repatriate wildlife to their original wild homes. IFAW collaborated with five U.S. sanctuaries to support the rescue of 13 big cats confiscated from Tiger King Park by federal authorities. On the policy side IFAW achieved breakthroughs in its advocacy for the Big Cat Public Safety Act which will provide stronger legal protection for big cats. By fiscal year end the bill had passed in the U.S. House of Representatives and was poised to pass in the Senate.
