Abstract

This paper propose a Wild for life project, looking for the client with the same goal to achieve zero wildlife crime.First, this paper collects a large amount of data related to the illegal wildlife trade, and the situation of relevant international organizations, and preprocesses these data. Then selected potential clients through power, resources, and interest required for the project. This paper used the “Global Influence Index of International Organizations” to assign different weights, and used the AHP-TOPSIS model to determine our client ICCWC, and pointed out the help that customers can provide us in legal, economic, and technical aspects. Then came a visualization of the current state of the illegal wildlife trade, and finally developed a data-driven five-year plan to implement the fight against the illegal wildlife trade. Through the research of this paper, it is expected to provide some reference for the field of combating illegal wildlife crime.
