C: PART 1.0 – PATROL AIDE MEMOIRE (PAM)

The Patrol Aide-Memoires (PAMs) are essentially a post-course reference on wildlife crime investigation and other patrol related skills. These PAM are organized by topic, i.e.:

• Accident management

• Map reading

• Legislation (Adapt according to national law, sample provided is specific to Vietnam)

• Search

• Patrols

• Crime scene

This resource can be printed in A6 size and laminated, so that law enforcement officials can refer to them whenever and wherever they are as a pocket guide. Each subject is carefully written to provide a guide, so that material learnt during training is refreshed.

C: PART 2.0 – CITES TRAINING VIDEOS

The training videos on wildlife trade regulation with a focus on CITES enforcement enable local enforcement agencies to provide training at a minimal cost of time and resources to a wider number of relevant officers. One of the difficulties faced by enforcement agencies in the Golden Triangle region is that officers are moved on a frequent basis, generally only remaining in post for around six months. These short training videos provide a brief introduction to CITES.

The training videos are developed in three parts:

1. What is CITES?: A brief introduction to CITES and CITES Appendices, how CITES works and why it is important to enforce CITES.

2. What is Taxonomy?: A brief explanation of taxonomy – the naming of animals and plants and how understanding taxonomy would help CITES enforcement.
