Summary
This project will seek to improve access to IWT resources for public and private stakeholders, including financial institutions and law enforcement agencies, through EIA’s Global Environmental Crime Tracker. EIA will build relationships with CSOs in key IWT countries who collect seizure and prosecution records to contribute data into the tool. Partnering with United for Wildlife, EIA will disseminate data to Financial Taskforce members which will be embedded into customer due diligence systems and improve identification of IWT money laundering risks.
Over 600 arrests and more than 500 convictions in wildlife crime since 2017, alongside a decline in ivory trafficking cases and an increase in elephant and rhino populations.
