This article aims at identifying how the global response to poaching can be improved and what role South Africa might play in it. To do so, we examine the emerging global wildlife crime regime and the challenges it faces. To offer an understanding of how governance could be improved, we ask how the success in curbing another transnational crime can serve as an example of international coordination. Through a comparison, we aim at identifying core dimensions by which the coordination of counter-poaching can be improved. Our conclusion stresses the importance of a more focussed, inclusive and experimental account. We end in outlining a number of core issues that South Africa should start to consider in its policies towards wildlife crime.

本文旨在确定如何改善全球对偷猎的反应以及南非可能在其中发挥的作用。为此，我们研究了新兴的全球野生动植物犯罪制度及其面临的挑战。为了提供对如何改善治理的理解，我们问如何成功遏制另一种跨国犯罪可以作为国际协调的一个例子。通过比较，我们旨在确定可以改善反偷猎协调的核心维度。我们的结论强调了更集中，更具包容性和实验性说明的重要性。我们最后概述了南非在其野生动植物犯罪政策中应开始考虑的一些核心问题。
