The INTERPOL Wildlife Crime Working Group focuses the expertise and experience of law enforcement officers, be it on the poaching, trafficking, or possession of legally protected flora and fauna. As with the Environmental Crime Committee, participation is welcomed from all of INTERPOL’s 188 member countries. The Working Group meets face to face annually, most recently at its 21st meeting in Manaus, Brazil between 21 and 25 September 2009. The Working Group’s next meeting will be held in 2010 at the INTERPOL General Secretariat in Lyon, France concurrent with the 7th International Conference on Environmental Crime.
The INTERPOL Pollution Crime Working Group has produced a number of documents of use to law enforcement agencies and prosecution services dealing with pollution crime. Practical Guide for CITES Management Authorities. Following the signing of the MoU between INTERPOL and CITES it became necessary to provide an update to existing documents detailing the activities of the two organisations. The Practical Guide explains the operations of both INTERPOL and CITES and makes specific recommendations regarding the cooperation between CITES Management Authorities and INTERPOL NCBs. The guide was produced as a collaboration between the INTERPOL Environmental Crime Programme, its Wildlife Crime Working Group, and the CITES Secretariat.
