An interesting project�

Team Rokka has been formed to provide CITES-dogs ( sniffing out ivory, rhino horn etc) for the use of organizations enforcing CITES regulations over the world.

Their pilot project will be funded by WWF Finland / Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. It will be launched in Africa in June / July if everything goes as planned. In the future their aim is to extend the project to other continents as well.

Team Rokka�s Facebook page is a good one to follow for people interested in wildlife contraband detection dogs.
