Our activities addressing environmental crime are all externally funded and dependent on sustainable partnerships.
Since 1992, INTERPOL’s work on environmental crimes is supported by INTERPOL’s Environmental Crime Working Party, known as the Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Committee and its four specialized crime working groups on wildlife, forestry, fisheries and pollution crimes. Each one of these working groups is comprised by senior law enforcement experts representing INTERPOL’s member counties.
Furthermore, we work in close collaboration with governmental, non-governmental and international organizations to disrupt transnational organized criminal groups involved in environmental crime.
We would particularly like to acknowledge the valuable cooperation from our current and past partners, listed below, and encourage other national, regional and international stakeholders to support our vital work to ensure a safer environment.
