Wildlife crime urgently needs justice. The global trafficking of wildlife continues relentlessly, driving many species towards extinction and threatening global security and public health. Massive efforts to raise awareness and reduce demand aren’t slowing one of the world’s most lucrative forms of transnational organized crime, fuelled by big profits and low risk.

• Every five minutes a pangolin is poached in the wild

• Every 15 minutes an elephant is killed for their ivory

• Every 15 hours a rhino is poached for its horn

• There are less than 4,000 tigers left in the wild

Organized wildlife crime is a low-risk-for-high-reward dirty industry. And it is big business, currently estimated to be the 4th most profitable global crime, after the trafficking of drugs, humans and arms. Organized crime networks have been attracted by the large financial rewards and low risk of detection or prosecution enabling them to commit these crimes.

The Wildlife Justice Commission believes our wildlife is not for sale to the highest bidder. It must be protected from traffickers who turn endangered species into trinkets and jewelry. Our mission is to disrupt and help dismantle the networks that support this destructive industry.

Hope it helps!
