Fewer than 1% of incidents ever reached a courtroom. Toxicological analysis was the exception, not the rule. Authorities who needed to work together often had no shared process, or even a shared contact, to make that happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That has changed. National anti-poisoning working groups now exist across the region. There are clear protocols for what happens when a poisoning case is discovered \u2013 who investigates, who analyses and who prosecutes. That infrastructure didn&#8217;t exist in most countries when we began.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The people behind it&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"41962\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/First-WCA-training.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41962\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/First-WCA-training.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/First-WCA-training-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/First-WCA-training-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/First-WCA-training-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"41963\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WCA-experts.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plans and systems don&#8217;t run themselves. A large part of what this project did was invest in the people who have to make them work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>44 professionals completed advanced training through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wildlifecrimeacademy.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wildlife Crime Academy (WCA)<\/a> and are now qualified experts in wildlife crime investigation and analysis\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>576 people were trained by the WCA graduates through national courses\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>164 prosecutors, judges, and legal experts took part in specialist workshops\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These are working police officers, conservationists, forensic experts, veterinarians and prosecutors. They know what a poisoning case looks like, how to handle evidence, and how to move it through the legal system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albania established a dedicated environmental crime department within the State Police. Similar steps are moving forward elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the numbers show&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the project, investigations were opened in roughly 6% of recorded poisoning cases. Now, that figure has risen to more than 30%, in comparison to the first project year. Documented poisoning incidents across the region have fallen by around 17% compared to the baseline (period from 2000 to 2020) as a result of implemented core actions and communication actions of the project. \u00a0Two wildlife poisoning incidents that occurred (in Serbia) during the implementation of the BalkanDetox LIFE project have been successfully sentenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, national databases systematically record incidents, annual reports make patterns visible, and forensic capacity actually supports prosecution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beyond the institutions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Awareness work ran alongside the institutional side. More than 500,000 people were reached through communications and outreach. Over 40 educational events were held. Hundreds of media stories covered the issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poisoning in the Balkans is no longer an invisible problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What isn&#8217;t finished&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some national strategies are still working through formal adoption. The systems built during this project need continued support to hold. Monitoring, training, and cross-border cooperation don&#8217;t stop because a project does, and they won&#8217;t. Follow-up work is already planned, and the network of people who&#8217;ve been part of this will carry it forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank you&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41961\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BDL-team.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To every partner, authority, expert, and community that contributed to this, we want to say thank you.
