The increasing use of internet has affected the pattern of Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT), where online transactions have been sharply rising.This poses challenges for law enforcement officers to accurately target the perpetrators. Considering this trend, the project supported the government to establish and operationalize a Cyber ​​Patrol Team. Comprising 12 young and energetic Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF)’s staff, supported by a cyber wildlife ​surveillance expert, equipped with the skills and sufficient infrastructure, the team continuously monitor, analyse and report any indication of IWT online transaction.The Cyber Patrol Team’s work, through timely identification, detection, and profiling of illegal social media accounts used for IWT activities, has helped law enforcement officers to better target the perpetrators of IWT, which otherwise would be difficult to locate efficiently. There is also enhanced collaboration between MoEF with the Indonesian National Police.
