While much of the conservation justice world focuses on all facets in the prevention and investigation of transnational wildlife crime, SEEJ-AFRICA believes that a critical element is being overlooked; what happens in the courtroom post arrest. 

In a project supported by the Elephant Crisis Fund, an initiative by Save the Elephants and the Wildlife Conservation Network, SEEJ-AFRICA believes in the power of being in the courtroom for wildlife prosecutions for the following reasons:

• Promote accountability and transparency for all agencies within the criminal justice process, from arraignment to final verdict and sentencing.
• A pro-active risk mitigation to actions that may compromise vulnerable prosecutions in ivory cases.
• Raise awareness to the current issues occurring within wildlife crime investigations and prosecutions.
• Track cases for the purpose of analysing and diagnosing concerns relating to the administration of justice.

Welcome to our website. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only organisation in the world that follows wildlife crime in the courtroom AND reports up to date observations and findings for all.
