Nature crime has become a trillion-dollar industry
One of the largest illicit economies in the world, nature crime is closely linked to terrorism, corruption, human rights abuses, financial crime and other threats to peace and security. A new global initiative that is building bridges across disciplinary, geographic, and jurisdictional domains in the fight against nature crime has officially been launched. The Nature Crime Alliance is a global, multi-sector network that raises political will, mobilises financial commitment, and bolsters operational capacity to fight nature crime and the international criminal activities with which it converges. According to the Nature Crime Alliance, these crimes include criminal forms of logging, mining, fishing, wildlife trade, and land conversion. The crimes moreover frequently converge with each other and other forms of international criminal activity.
