is launching a competition to fight wildlife poaching and trafficking. </span> <span data-start-time='10021' data-end-time='22125'>USAID is asking people to submit ideas that use science and technology to reduce the illegal activities. </span> <span data-start-time='22125' data-end-time='29229'>The agency will pay the winner up to $500,000.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='29229' data-end-time='42667'>People or groups can write a short description of their ideas and submit them to wildlifecrimetech.org by the end of this month.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='42667' data-end-time='48813'>Michael Yates is the USAID mission director in Asia. </span> <span data-start-time='48813' data-end-time='58708'>He says individuals and organizations that fight the traffickers want help discovering where the criminals travel. </span> <span data-start-time='58708' data-end-time='65271'>They also want to learn ways to strengthen evidence against traffickers. </span> <span data-start-time='65271' data-end-time='73417'>And they want to learn how to reduce the demand for wildlife, as well as how to stop corruption.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='73417' data-end-time='75208'>“They’re all interlinked. </span> <span data-start-time='75208' data-end-time='80521'>And it’s going to take concerted action in each one of these areas to really address this issue.</span> <span data-start-time='80521' data-end-time='82708'>And it’s something that needs to be addressed with urgency. </span> <span data-start-time='82708' data-end-time='88646'>The trend lines are just enormously troublesome with respect to the increase in poaching.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='88646' data-end-time='96854'>Mr. Yates says every member of society must help if a solution is to be found. </span> <span data-start-time='96854' data-end-time='101271'>Governments cannot solve the issue on their own, he says. </span> <span data-start-time='101271' data-end-time='107333'>Instead, USAID is seeking ideas from the public.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='107333' data-end-time='120771'>USAID is working with the National Geographic Society, the Smithsonian Institution and the wildlife tracking network TRAFFIC on the project. </span> <span data-start-time='120771' data-end-time='132917'>The agency says an idea will be judged on its possible effect on trafficking and whether it can be used in large-scale actions against criminals. </span> <span data-start-time='132917' data-end-time='138021'>The strongest ideas will then be placed into the competition.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='138021' data-end-time='140854'>I'm Kelly Jean Kellly.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
