ASEAN Wildlife Enforcement Network (ASEAN-WEN)

The ASEAN Wildlife Enforcement Network (ASEAN-WEN) is a regional cooperation group that aims to combat wildlife crime across Southeast Asia. It connects government agencies, law enforcement, and conservation organizations to share information, coordinate efforts, and strengthen laws against illegal activities like poaching, trafficking, and smuggling of endangered species. By working together, ASEAN-WEN helps protect biodiversity, ensure sustainable use of wildlife, and combat organized illegal wildlife trade, which threatens both animals and ecosystems in the region.
