Acknowledgements

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.

As well as the support of all our member countries in the success of the Environmental Crime Programme to date, we would particularly like to acknowledge the invaluable financial support of a number of governmental and non-government organizations and foundations.

We hope that their leadership will encourage other organizations and environmental law enforcement authorities to follow suit in supporting our vital work.
