"Singh said enforcement of the moratorium has been heightened. He also appealed to the public to join the fight to conserve local wildlife. “We are setting up our hotline—it should be established by the end of the week—in which you can call in and (it) will be linked to our enforcement component in order to catch those who are poaching,” he said... The minister said his understanding is that hunters made a living off wild meat and he is offering them an opportunity to participate in a density survey with the University of the West Indies and University of Wisconsin to record the wildlife population. “Those who depend on hunting, making a killing to make a living, will be embraced by the EMA in a programme called EMA Bush Masters where they will participate with the EMA in the density survey that will take place,” he said. “They will now be part of the system where they will now making living from conserving. It is a whole new paradigm. They are going to serve in this sector. It is a whole new approach to the conservation of our wildlife.” guardian.co.tt/news/2013-10-10/minister-warns-dna-testing-cooked-meats
