It also identifies key hotspots and presents an overview of smuggling methods employed by rhino horn traffickers. The assessment conducted in the report aims to deepen the understanding of smuggling techniques and the highly adaptive routes that facilitate the movement of African rhino horn along the illicit rhino horn supply chain. Based on the evidence gathered for this assessment and analyses of known smuggling routes, the report’s recommendations call for improved co-operation between law enforcement agencies at local, national, regional and international levels; heightened  anti-corruption measures; targeted investigations  to disrupt transnational criminal networks; increased follow-up action to seizures that lead to arrests and successful prosecutions of perpetrators; and improved data collection and information sharing on seizures and methods of concealment.  aIllicit Trafficking, Smuggling  aOkes, N. and Rademeyer, J.  uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/Pendants_Powder_Pathways_Rhino_Horn.PDF
