MUCH OF OUR WORK ADDRESSES THE INTERSECTION OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AND HUMAN ACTIVITY, OFTEN IN THE CONTEXT OF LIVELIHOODS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE OPERATE WITHIN STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT LARGE LANDSCAPES, APPLYING OUR DECADES OF CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE AND PROVEN STRATEGIES TO CREATE PRAGMATIC SOLUTIONS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RURAL COMMUNITIES AND AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS ALIKE. AWF ALSO EMPHASIZES ADVOCACY, HAVING A SEAT AT THE TABLE WHEN IMPORTANT DECISIONS ARE MADE AT THE NATIONAL, CONTINENTAL, AND GLOBAL LEVELS. WE MAKE OUR CASE THROUGH A COMPELLING PORTFOLIO OF PROJECTS AND INVESTMENTS IN FOCAL COUNTRIES SPANNING SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA. ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THIS WORK IS FORMULATED AT THE LANDSCAPE SCALE, OUR PRIORITIES ALWAYS LINK TO FOCAL COUNTRIES' CONSERVATION AGENDAS. OUR RESULTS DEMONSTRATE HOW WILDLIFE AND WILD LANDS CAN CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO AFRICAN ECONOMIES AND PEOPLES' WELL-BEING. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: AWF'S WILDLIFE JUDICIAL AND PROSECUTORIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM DEVELOPS CAPACITY AMONG LEGAL AND JUDICIAL PROFESSIONALS THROUGH TRAINING AND MENTORSHIPS. PROGRAM ACTIVITIES HELP ENSURE THE PROFESSIONALS HAVE THE BEST COMPETENCIES TO PROSECUTE WILDLIFE CRIMES THAT INCLUDE ILLEGAL TRANSNATIONAL TRADE, CORRUPTION, AND MONEY LAUNDERING. IN FY20, AWF TRAINED FIRST RESPONDERS IN BEST PRACTICES FOR CRITICAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS EVIDENCE HANDLING AND STORAGE; THE TRAINING ALSO PROVIDED EXPERTISE IN SERVING AS EFFECTIVE COURT WITNESSES. AWF ALSO SUPPORTS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT WHERE NEEDED TO IMPROVE CASE OUTCOMES. FOR EXAMPLE, IN FY20 WE DONATED TO THE KENYA WILDLIFE SERVICE AN EVIDENCE STORAGE ROOM COMPLETE TWO DEEP FREEZERS, EVIDENCE STORAGE SAFES, AND COOLER BOXES. AWF HELPS SAFEGUARD WILDLIFE AND HABITAT BY TRAINING RANGERS AND SCOUTS IN ECOLOGICAL MONITORING USING STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY. CYBERTRACKER/SMART TRAINING IS ONE OF AWF'S MOST VITAL PROGRAMS, THE CENTERPIECE OF OUR STRATEGY TO IMPROVE PROTECTED-AREA MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION PLANNING. CYBERTRACKER IS AN APP THAT ALLOWS RANGERS TO CAPTURE CRITICAL FIELD OBSERVATIONS ON RUGGEDIZED SMARTPHONES. NOTES ARE DOWNLOADED TO SMART, A SPATIAL SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO MANAGE PATROL OBSERVATION DATA. THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED FROM DATA ANALYSES INFORMS WILDLIFE LAW-ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES AND HELPS AUTHORITIES BETTER MONITOR DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATED TO HABITAT LOSS AND WILDLIFE-POPULATION HEALTH. MAPS REVEALING HOTSPOTS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY (EVIDENCED BY AMMUNITION CARTRIDGES, POACHERS' CAMPS, ETC.) INFORM SUBSEQUENT PATROL ROUTES. AWF HAS PROVIDED CYBERTRACKER/SMART TRAINING (AND EQUIPMENT) IN 21 SITES ACROSS SEVEN COUNTRIES. AWF IS RESPONDING TO THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19 IN NINE COUNTRIES IN AFRICA. OUR GOAL IS TO LIMIT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 AND REDUCE ITS IMPACT ON VULNERABLE WILDLIFE AND WILDLANDS CONSERVATION. OBJECTIVES INCLUDE SCALING UP PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO LIMIT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, STRENGTHENING CONSERVATION SYSTEMS AND WORKERS, AND SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY COVID-19 THROUGH SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND LIVELIHOODS EFFORTS. SUCH EFFORTS CAN OFFSET THE HARDSHIPS CREATED BY THE PANDEMIC, INCLUDING THE LOSS OF LIVELIHOODS DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, THUS HELPING PRESERVE HARD-WON CONSERVATION GAINS. OUR COVID-19 CRISIS INTERVENTIONS RELATED TO SPECIES PROTECTION INCLUDED DISTRIBUTING PPE TO WILDLIFE RANGERS AND SCOUTS (MASKS, HAND SANITIZER KITS, GLOVE SETS, ETC.), PROVIDING FUEL TO WILDLIFE AGENCIES TO ENABLE PROTECTED-AREA PATROLS, SUPPLEMENTING MONTHLY SALARIES FOR RANGERS, AND PROVIDING FOOD RATIONS TO WILDLIFE RANGERS.
