Following two funding calls, a total of 17 projects were selected. The projects represent a very wide range of different approaches and solution ideas for pursuing the Alliance's goals, depending on the respective context.

To increase the visibility of the projects and to foster knowledge exchange they are invited to present their ongoing work, intermediate goals and preliminary results to the Alliance community through posts on the website or at online events.

The members area is exclusive for registered members (individuals or organisations) of the Alliance. The membership is free of charge and gives you the chance to join forces for a common cause as well as connect, collaborate and partner with other members.

The Members Area serves as a platform for internal exchange, sharing of interesting articles, job opportunities and event dates as well as having access to video recordings of past events on demand.

The aim is to establish practices, rules and/or standards to reduce risks to the environment, human and animal health in trade in wild animals and wild animal products in selected partner countries in global biodiversity hotspot regions. Among other things, risk assessments, the design of educational measures in different formats (digital and non-digital campaigns, training courses, etc.) and the scientific monitoring of the implementation of good practices (e.g. impact assessments) are to be promoted. The Alliance brings the relevant actors together across sectors and use concrete findings to formulate adapted regulations or or supports the institutionalization of relevant practices.

The International Alliance currently has 3 Working Groups, which are led by the members themselves and receive support from the Alliance Secretariat. Each Working Group is led by 1-2 chairs and the group meets every 6-8 weeks to ensure a continous work process.

We currently have the following Working Groups:

- Science Policy Interface (chair: Sue Liebermann, WCS)

Considering our core understanding of wildlife we want to infuse this understanding, based on scientific evidence, into international political processes.

- Transformative System Change: The Big Picture (chair: Alex D. Greenwood, IZW Berlin; Barabara Maas, NABU)

There are underlying fundamental obstacles to achieving the Alliances objectives and goals. Identifying and addressing these is the focus of this Working Group. 

- Evaluation/Effective Interventions (chair: Craig Stephen, One Health Consultant)

The aim is to gather good practices on effective interventions from Alliance members to enable learning and knowledge exchange across sectors and regions. 

The goal of the Consultation Facility is to provide context-specific multidisciplinary consultancy services from Alliance experts to governments/governmental institutions in countries with a high risk of novel diseases of zoonotic origin to prevent spill-over infections.

The expertise of more than 180+ member organisations and individual experts in the Alliance will be used to put together those interdiscplinary teams.

The Consultation Facility specializes on medium-term, primary preventive and context-specific government advisory services with concrete results in the context of health risks in wildlife trade and consumption along the entire contact and trade chain.

In May 2023, the Elephants Alive (EA) team embarked on an Human-Elephant Conflict barrier implementation mission to the Namaacha Valley in Southern Mozambique. EA and Mozambique Wildlife Allience (MWA), as well as delegates from Save The Elephants (Kenya) and PAMS Foundation (Tanzania), came together in an inspirational cooperation exercise to implement a 4-way mitigation soft barrier to protect three crop fields. The fields had been identified through field research and GPS tracking data, as high-risk for elephant crop-raiding. One side of the fence was built by hanging beehives. As the hives start to become occupied with wild swarms, we will keep training local farmers on how to keep hives and colonies healthy, by assessing the frame structures and checking if the bees have enough pollen to produce honey. This knowledge will allow the farmers to increase both their crop production, protect crops from hungry elephants and supplement their income from honey sales. The second side of the fence was made up of metal strip fencing, the noise and sight of which has been proven to deter elephants from breaking into farmers’ fields. We set up the third side of the fence with chilli rags. The fourth side of the soft barrier fence was comprised of flashing lights, a technique successfully used in Botswana.

In order to make visible and recognize the performance of good fishing practices and compliance with the Use Agreement between the community of Tumaradó and PNN Los Katíos, the Bocachico Festival was created, which in 2023 completes its XVI version. This is a traditional celebration that takes place in the community to promote the proper use of hydrobiological resources, especially bocachico; it is also carried out as an education and communication strategy aimed at organizational strengthening and lines of culture and governance.

This two-day event includes a variety of activities and contests for the whole community around the hydrobiological resource, such as catching the biggest fish, gastronomic dishes, the person who eats the most bocachico, canoeing, swimming, painting, trovas, weaving the net, fixing the fish, interviews with fishermen, among others. In 2020, diplomas were awarded to artisanal fishermen to honor their good work within the framework of the agreement.

En complemento al TDC, cumpliendo los Lineamientos de Sostenibilidad Financiera con apoyo de ANECAP y DRIS se apalancó proyectos de: fondos climáticos, cooperación Internacional, fondos concursables y alianzas con privados. Se inició con la promoción de la cadena de valor sostenible de cacao.

Con el liderazgo de la cogestión SERNANP-ECA AMARCY, se ha construido una estrategia integral de vigilancia de la RCY, su zona de amortiguamiento y su paisaje asociado, elaborando herramientas unificadas en coordinación con todas las instituciones responsables y promotoras de la vigilancia comunal.

Based on the results of the various protocols implemented in the Chriopt'îles project, management recommendations were formulated by the GCOI and presented to the TAAF, managers of the Eparses Islands.

Based on acoustic analyses and the hostile environment on Tromelin, the island does not appear to be home to any chiropteran species. No recommendations for management or further study are envisaged.

Despite the absence of chiropteran sounds in Europa's acoustic analyses, its history and local context suggest that chiropterans could still be present. It is planned to re-deploy the passive listening protocol over periods based on the dates of historical observations. Management recommendations will be made following this research.

2 species of chiropteran have been recorded on Grande Glorieuse, including the Taphien de Maurice and an undetermined species. The renewal of the passive acoustic protocol is envisaged in order to improve knowledge of the occupation of the territory by these species. Monthly visual monitoring of the coconut grove at the life base is also envisaged. The management of invasive exotic species on Filaos or Coconut trees must take into account the presence of these two species.
