• W2921037750 abstract "This is an original thematic research thesis that investigated the causes that lead to the currentunprecedented escalation of wildlife crime in Africa that threatens to destroy our global environmentby decimating and driving our wildlife which is a global heritage to extinction. The research studywhich was conducted both in Kenya and in the United Kingdom, has developed unique anddistinguishable proposals, methods and recommendations, referred to as the 3Cs solutions, whichcan be effectively utilized in combating and curbing wildlife crime at a global scale.Nature has provided very delicate and sophisticated ecological systems where all plants and animalshave very important roles that they play which keeps this planet Earth’s environment habitable. Therealization that the future of this World and the entire human race is greatly linked to these globalecological systems and their biodiversity balance has caused a new global awareness and eagernessto view these eco-systems and the entire global environment as one and to halt destruction of any ofthese eco-systems taking place anywhere on planet Earth. Wildlife crime is currently the greatestthreat to the ecological system and its bio-diversity balance in Africa and by extension to the globalenvironment, as it is destroying an ecological and bio-diversity system of a globally important biomeand green belt area south of the Sahara.East, Central and Southern Africa have been identified as the largest source markets that supplyillegal wildlife trophies to the consumer markets in the Far East Asia, Western Europe the MiddleEast and the USA. Yet some of these supply source countries have functioning legal systems thathave failed to curb this crime. Kenya is one such country. Kenya was selected for this study becauseit is the region’s major logistics and trading hub for illegal wildlife crime trophies. Kenya has afunctioning Criminal Justice System mandated to combat wildlife crime yet it has badly failed to doso. The three departments within that Criminal Justice System which are mandate to protect wildlifeby enforcing wildlife crime laws in Kenya are Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) warders for policing,the Prosecution and the Judiciary.The main purpose of this study was therefore to investigate and understand why a functioning legalsystem is unable to combat wildlife crime by determining the challenges it faces in curbing this vice.The study focused on wildlife crime committed for commercial export purposes and identified 5prime species that are targeted for their trophies for illegal export which are the elephant, rhino, lion,leopard and cheetah herein after referred to in this study as the ‘Charismatic Five.The study employed Empirical research methods to conduct the research and to answer the researchquestions. Qualitative and quantitative research techniques were utilized. The study adopted thedescriptive survey research design in order to assist the researcher achieve the objective of the study.Five national parks were selected for the study being the parks where the charismatic 5 wildlifespecies are abundantly found and therefore the targeted parks by poachers. The population of thestudy were therefore Kenya Wildlife Service Wardens in the selected national parks, Magistratesand Prosecutors serving in the courts where these parks are located.A peer review of this study’s research tool was first done followed by pilot study carried out at theNairobi National Park in Kenya, which tested and found the research tool to be suitable, reliable andvalid to achieve the overall research objectives. The main survey was conducted in Kenya and tookover 4 months for data collection to be completed. Data analysis was done in the United Kingdom.Inferential statistics were used in drawing conclusions. Out of the 156 questionnaires distributed,152 were completed and returned, representing a 97% response rate due to massive interest shownon the topic by the respondents. The study identified 20 causes and challenges being experiencedwithin the criminal justice system and made recommendations for each challenge that offers the bestsolution to resolving that challenge.This research study has developed and promulgates some conclusive proposals as its originalcontributions to knowledge. These contributions are supported by analytical and empirical evidencefrom this research study and are as follows: Firstly, it challenges the Apocryphal Cause thatcorruption is the cause of the escalation of wildlife crime. Based on the evidence collected throughthis research, it can now be categorically and authentically proved that the sudden upward surge ofdemand in wildlife trophies in the consumers markets of the Far East Countries is the leading causeof escalation of wildlife crime in the source markets like Kenya.Secondly, this study has developed a new concept called ‘The 3Cs’ concept, through which itproposes and offers new methods for combating wildlife crime. The concept is conceptualized andpropounded in a pack consisting of The Concept; The 3Cs Test; The 3C’s Model; and, the 3 CsApplication Tool Kit.Overall, it is sincerely hoped that the finding of this research will dominate discussions in the globalarena dealing with wildlife crime and contribute tremendously as a solution to this global cause." @default.
