Stakeholder Collaboration Portal

The database fosters collaboration by providing accessible tools for policymakers, law enforcement, researchers, and NGOs. This collaborative model could be replicated to facilitate cross-sector cooperation in combating global challenges such as climate change or poverty.

Policy Evaluation Framework

The platform is designed to assess the effectiveness of laws and enforcement efforts, such as the Endangered Species Act and Lacey Act. This framework can be applied to evaluate policy impacts in other regulatory areas, like labor laws or international trade compliance.

Federal Case Monitoring System

By collecting detailed data on federal prosecutions, this tool provides insights into enforcement patterns, sentencing trends, and legal applications. Similar systems could be developed to monitor prosecutions in areas like corporate fraud, tax evasion, or cybercrime.

Interactive Visualization Platform

The database integrates web design technologies and Esri ArcGIS to create a user-friendly interface for visualizing patterns and trends. This visual component can be adapted to various sectors to improve stakeholder engagement and decision-making, such as by local, state and federal wildlife and environmental agencies.

Open-Source Data Aggregation Tool

The database uses open-source technologies to aggregate and structure federal prosecution data. This approach is scalable and adaptable, making it an effective tool for organizing and analyzing enforcement data in other domains, such as human trafficking, organized crime, or other environmental offenses.

Good Governance

Good governance is essential for the sustainable growth of Randilen Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Effective leadership, transparency, and accountability ensure that tourism revenues are managed efficiently, benefiting both conservation efforts and local communities. Strong governance structures help in decision-making, equitable distribution of resources, and the enforcement of policies that protect wildlife and natural habitats. By fostering community participation and fair representation, Randilen WMA can enhance trust among stakeholders, attract more investment, and promote long-term sustainability. Ultimately, good governance ensures that conservation and development go hand in hand, securing a prosperous future for both people and nature.

Clear communication channels among stakeholders.

Stakeholder commitment to transparency and accountability.

Developement suppose to reach the community and it is only possible with good governce in place

use AI

To preserve natural resources, artificial intelligence must be introduced to preserve them, and automation must be used to preserve environmental diversity by linking to the use of the Internet today, which is everywhere, controlling it, and following up. It was made into a real reserve and controlled using connected surveillance cameras. Transporting animals to a safe environment protected by surveillance cameras to reduce poaching.

To Foster that Wildlife Friendly Actions (i.e, guanaco use) could bring solutions on the conflict generated between conservation and livestock production paradigm.

Communication is vital for any company, business, or professional activity. It is useless to have a lot of knowledge and great abilities to generate a good product if we do not manage to make ourselves visible in an effective way, attracting consumers. For large companies (due to having a budget and specifically assigned), it is relatively easy to find the perfect insight and get to shape the campaign. SEO strategies, SEM, usability and UX issues, social media, implementation of channels such as email marketing or SMS, etc. A good campaign knows how to make room in all these areas. However, it is a mistake to think that only companies with large resources can gain a good digital presence or outside it. When we talk about "social communication" we must bear in mind that not everyone has access to each of the available digital platforms, nor are they present in all existing social networks. We consider a "successful" strategy if we manage to gain visibility using the most frequent communication channels available to capture interest and loyalty.

“create, measure, and learn” potential communication (comm) strategies on WFA. These workshops will explain basic guidelines on comm styles, impacts of different strategies, and the scale of those. Some campaigns will want to gain visibility, notoriety, generate engagement in social networks or simply cause a considerable impact to make the audience act. Training for comm actions to build and strengthen capacity within national stakeholders and local communities to expand on WFA.

The PayúnMatrú Cooperative members may be able in the future to teach the methods they learn during this project to other groups that wish to manage guanacos in Patagonia. Wildlife Friendly Actions to obtain guanaco fiber become a standard procedure by guanaco-fiber producers all around the Patagonian Steppe.

The communication efforts applied so far, through small notes on science pages, television, and radio channels to disseminate our project paid off. Since one of them reached the managers of Good Growth, the international company that connects science, customers with the world´s most successful Brands. With the help of WCS that is a representative of the WFEN and as such, acting as a link between both companies to sign a contract, which states two important points: a)the parties understand that the costs of a well-conducted management operation imply that the base price of guanaco raw fiber should be 200$; b)the purchase of 100 kilos from the Payun Matru Cooperative.

Generate wildlife friendly certifications that increase the market value of the fiber

The province of Mendoza has what we currently consider to be the most wildlife-friendly guanaco-shearing project that has been underway for ten years. Due to the type of management carried out in La Payunia, there is the possibility that the products can be certified Wildlife Friendly. The Wildlife Friendly Enterprise Network (WFEN) is a global community dedicated to developing and marketing products that conserve endangered wildlife while contributing to the economic vitality of rural communities. The Network sets the global standard for selling "green" products and helps members reach new and dynamic markets. WFEN's Mission is to protect wildlife in the wild by certifying businesses that ensure that people and nature coexist and thrive. WFEN certification will seek to promote wildlife conservation by facilitating responsible production practices, business development, education, and branding. It will also seek to access new and dynamic markets and achieve a fair price for wildlife-friendly products.

First, an applicant must submit the WF Global Products Pre-Assessment Form and Reference Form, to apply for the Certification. The Pre-Assessment Form provides background about producers, their products, and wildlife conservation conditions in their area to understand if the products may meet the WFEN Mission Criteria. The Reference Form must be completed by someone at a conservation organization who is familiar with the program and its conservation context. A non-refundable fee of $250 must accompany the Pre-Assessment and Reference Form.

Based on the principles of wildlife conservation, economic well-being, and accountability, each of our certified product lines illustrates the possibilities of triple-bottom-line success for people, planet and profit.

A direct link between production and conservation is essential for certification by the Network. Products that donate a percentage of profits to conservation but do not abate threats to key species fall outside of WFEN. To help ensure communities living with wildlife adopt conservation practices, the associated benefits should be tangible and significant. Certified products must contribute to increases in local incomes and/or improvements to livelihoods. The product’s conservation mission includes a clear enforcement mechanism, such that failure to follow through with required conservation actions results in immediate consequences, including forfeiture of any economic reward. Inability to make substantive corrections in a reasonable timeframe will result in suspension from the Network, including loss of certification and provision of information to vendors and distributors.
