The INTERPOL Environmental Crime Programme is dependent on external sources for its funding. This financial support comes from a number of different sources: government agencies and departments from our member countries, non-governmental agencies, and charitable funds and organizations. We also accept technical and logistical assistance from a similar range of sources.

The nature of the Programme means our appeal for funding is ongoing. Please contact us if you, your agency, or someone you know is willing or able to offer their support. We need you to spread the word, lobby for support or join our initiatives, as only together can we make a difference against environmental crime the world over.

Below are those governments and non-governmental agencies which have provided their generous support for the INTERPOL Environmental Crime Programme.
