Importance of Gathering Wildlife Crime Data
Environmental crime is one of the world’s most destructive, fast-growing, and lucrative transnational organized crimes. These crimes encompass a broad
spectrum of activities that include illegal logging, fishing, wildlife trafficking, and dumping of hazardous waste. With an annual increase of 5-7%, which was up to three times the growth rate of the global economy, environmental crime now earns between $US 110 and 281 billion each year. Transnational
environmental crime makes up nearly two-thirds of the world’s illicit crime finance.
​
This report presents emerging research and dialogue on environmental crime by shedding light on its key dimensions: the characteristics of the actors involved; the well-connected, highly sophisticated syndicates they form; and the convergence of this crime with other serious transnational crimes, such as drug trafficking, human smuggling, money laundering, and corruption.
