Education sessions designed to assist in strengthening the enforcement capacity of customs and wildlife protection agencies in the Oceania region were run by Australian Government officers at the 2007 and 2008 Pacific Customs Management Program (PCMP).

PCMP is hosted annually by Australian Customs Service and the Centre for Customs and Excise Studies at the University of Canberra. The forum is attended by participants from Pacific customs administrations including; Cook Islands, Fiji, Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Norfolk Island, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.

The sessions incorporated Australian experiences and used case studies to examine how relationships between federal agencies can help protect wildlife from illegal trafficking as well as strengthen regional enforcement capacity.

Participants inspected wildlife specimens seized by Australian Customs and shared stories on their own experiences with wildlife enforcement.

The Australian Government has been asked to contribute to this and other forums in future.
