🔵INTERPOL’s role in ICCWC often sits behind the scenes, in the intelligence sharing & cross-border coordination that turn a seizure into a case that holds up in court. The experiences shared by Lao PDR, Mexico and Singapore reflect that work in practice.
⭐ Highlights from yesterday’s #ICCWC side event at CITES #SC81.
Enforcement authorities from Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mexico and Singapore shared how ICCWC support, from forensics to international cooperation, is helping turn detection into prosecution.
Thanks to port of ICCWC.

Wildlife crime is changing. So must the response. 🌐
As technology transforms the way the world connects, it also creates new opportunities for criminal networks. Building digital and investigative capabilities helps authorities stay ahead of evolving wildlife crime threats and efforts across borders.
Through its training, tools and capacity-building initiatives, ICCWC supports countries in adapting to emerging challenges and strengthening the global response to wildlife crime.

👤 511 investigations. 225 arrests. 500+ criminal entities identified.
When criminal networks are dismantled, the environment is protected, communities are safer and economies are more resilient. Project Gaia contributes significantly to how INTERPOL makes that happen.
At the Conference, @INTERPOL_EC presented the operational impact of Project Gaia which connects national police forces across the Americas, Asia and Africa to track down the criminal networks behind illegal mining, deforestation, wildlife trafficking, IUU fishing and waste pollution.
Today, INTERPOL and @IKI_BMZ advanced Project Gaia into its next phase with a commitment of USD 1.5 million to strengthen the fight against transnational environmental crime.
Strong partnerships deliver strong results. 🤝

🟢At the Rio Nature and Climate Week, one message was clear: nature and climate commitments mean nothing if criminal networks keep destroying our forests, oceans and wildlife with impunity.
This has to change.
More convictions, less impunity

Today is the Int'l Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported & Unregulated #IUUFishing 🎣
IUU fishing doesn't stop at sea. It's linked to human trafficking, drug trafficking, money laundering & document fraud. It threatens food security & the safety of vulnerable communities
