However, cyber-enabled Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is often overlooked, falling at the intersection of agencies’ responsibilities. Environmental police departments often lack the skills and expertise to detect and investigate online wildlife trade and high-tech/digital crime police departments are often unaware of or knowledgeable about the operations of wildlife criminals and pay little attention to detecting and investigating online IWT. A lack of cooperation between these agencies hampers investigations.   Besides, despite wildlife trafficking being a significant money laundering threat, Viet Nam’s law enforcement agencies (LEAs) make minimal use of financial intelligence when tracing proceeds of wildlife crime, investigating money laundering and associated predicate offenses. Similar to challenges to address cyber-enabled wildlife crime, there is minimal cooperation and exchange of financial intelligence regarding wildlife crime between relevant stakeholders and competent law enforcement authorities in Viet Nam.  In this situation, the stakeholder analysis and review of their existing inter-agency collaboration and cooperation mechanisms on detection and investigation of cyber and financial-enabled IWT in Viet Nam will help identify what can be improved. Therefore, WCS is seeking a consultant to support us in researching this issue. Results of this research could be presented in  workshop/s on the topic hosted by WCS and its government partners and be a good reference for different agencies.  2. Objectives:   To identify and analyze stakeholders relevant to detecting and investigating cybercrime and financial crime associated with IWT in Viet Nam.  To identify and clarify the mechanisms for cooperation within police forces and among police forces and other stakeholders in detecting and investigating cybercrime and financial crime associated with IWT in Viet Nam.  To figure out the advantages and disadvantages, gaps and loopholes in the existing collaboration and cooperation mechanism (if any), then provide recommendations to improve the effectiveness of CWT. 3.

Duration of Service’s performance: 2/2023 – 4/2023   I. Background:  The current COVID-19 global pandemic is killing millions of people globally and causing major impacts to livelihoods, society, and economies across the world. COVID-19 is understood to have originated in wildlife, and most probably made the jump to humans in a market selling live wildlife in China or a connected link along the wildlife supply chain. However, the conditions that lead to the emergence and transmission of these zoonotic pathogens to humans are not unique to China; they also prevalent in wild animal supply chains in Viet Nam. Given the fact that the conditions leading to the outbreak and spread of zoonotic pathogens have been happening every day in Viet Nam and all over the world, we need to rethink the policy and legal systems. applicable laws and identify remaining problems in wildlife management and protection, thereby tightening regulations on wildlife trade and consumption prevention and control, creating a change in awareness. and wildlife use habits of a part of the population as well as making relevant recommendations to reform related policies. Within the framework of the operation, WCS have worked with experts and consultants from different stakeholders to conduct a review of Viet Nam's legal framework on illegal wildlife trade as well as policies on prevention of zoonotic diseases. The research report will focus on the following issues: (1) regulations on the control of infectious diseases in animals, especially wildlife; (2) policies to protect public health and the impact of epidemics on health, people and society; (3) gaps that limit the risk of zoonotic disease transmission as well as some other potential outbreaks in the wildlife supply chain; and (4) provide recommendations on policy and legal reform. Base on the report’s output, WCS needs to recruit an independent consultant team to conduct the survey to consult with international experts and organizations in the country working in the field of wildlife conservation and public health, legislative bodies on the feasibility of a roadmap to amend and reform the system of policies and laws focusing on restricting and prohibiting commercial trade activities and wildlife consumption in Viet Nam; and finalize the recommendations, propose a roadmap for amending and before submitting the research report to the relevant agencies of The National Assembly and the Government consider including them in the annual law and ordinance-making program. The goal of these recommendations is to prevent and minimize the potential future risk of transmission of zoonotic pathogens to humans. II.  Objectives: Conduct the survey at some provinces/cities identified as the hot spots of illegal wildlife trade; Finalize the recommendations and the roadmap of policy and legal reform related to reduce and band illegal wildlife trade and consumption in Viet Nam to mitigate the risks of zoonotic disease spillover along wildlife supply chain.

Background   Wildlife crime is a complex, global problem that needs to be addressed through a variety of strategies. To move, hide and launder illicit money generated from the illegal wildlife trade (IWT), transnational organized crime groups exploit weaknesses in financial and non-financial sectors, enabling further wildlife crimes and damaging financial integrity. Financial investigation is an important step in ensuring those involved with IWT are identified and prosecuted fully. Using the tools and techniques available to investigate financial crime will aid in identifying revenues, property sources, money flows and the use of illicit funds in IWT. However, these tools have not been widely applied in investigating IWT and jurisdictions rarely investigate the financial trail left by this crime. To date, jurisdictions have not prioritized combatting the financial flows connected to IWT in line with the level of risk posed by this crime. A lack of required knowledge, resources and cooperation mechanisms often prevents law enforcement agencies (LEAs) from properly assessing and combating the threat of money laundering resulting from IWT. In Viet Nam, despite wildlife crime being considered a predicate offence for money laundering crime (Supreme Court’s Judge Council’s Resolution 03/2019), and the fact that LEAs have made some significant seizures of illegal wildlife products, even during 2021 - 2022 when COVID-19 heavily affected global transport systems, there has not been any money laundering cases arising out of IWT investigations. The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG)-Mutual-Evaluation-Report-Viet Nam-2022 identified that “LEAs made minimal use of financial intelligence when tracing proceeds of crime, investigating money laundering and associated predicate offences like wildlife crimes. Challenges with the availability and quality of suspicious transaction reports (STRs) and weaknesses with FIU analytical systems and capabilities limit the volume and quality of FIU’s analytical products'' WCS’s training assessment and evaluations in Viet Nam have also identified that police lack an understanding of money laundering, and financial information in relation to wildlife trafficking and receive insufficient intelligence products from the FIU, while prosecutors and judges do not have sufficient information to prepare AML related cases. There is also very limited exchange of financial intelligence between the banking sector, LEAs, and judiciary. These constraints, together with weak inter-agency coordination, have led to hesitation in undertaking financial investigations or pursuing AML cases, especially at the district level, where most (wildlife) investigations take place. Following the APG mutual evaluation, the APG also recommended that Viet Nam (i) enhance the quality and quantity of its financial intelligence products; (ii) prioritize proactive financial investigations, including increasing the development and use of financial intelligence; (iii) promote inter-agency and international cooperation to trace criminal proceeds. WCS Viet Nam collaborates with national partners to co-host training events to enhance IWT-related investigation and AML capacity of banks, FIUs, and LEAs in Viet Nam. Therefore, we are seeking an international consultant to support this work. II. Objective To develop and deliver, as appropriate, a training program (agenda, materials and handouts) on AML in wildlife trafficking for banks, FIUs, and LEAs. III.
