ASEAN Wildlife Enforcement Network (AWEN)
NOTE: This Network is now the ASEAN Working Group on CITES and Wildlife Enforcement (WE). Please see write-up on AWGCITES & WE for updates.
Launched in 2005, the ASEAN-WEN is a collaboration among the ten ASEAN member nations to facilitate inter-agency and cross-border collaboration in the fight against wildlife trafficking in Southeast Asia. The ASEAN-WEN operates through a Secretariat called the Program Coordination Unit (PCU) based in Bangkok which helps coordinate trainings and workshops, organize annual meetings, facilitate communication and build high level support. The ASEAN-WEN participants include national focal points, environmental law enforcers, and customs agencies of the Southeast Asian countries.
