Die Finansiële Aksie-taakmag beskryf in sy eerste verslag oor wildmisdaad dit as 'n internasionale bedreiging wat verbind kan word met georganiseerde misdaad soos slawerny, dwelm- en wapensmokkelary. Volgens die verslag is daar 'n gebrek aan fokus op die finansiële aspek van wildmisdaad en stel voor alle regerings moet wette op geldwassery implementeer. Die studie se bevindings is gebaseer op die insette van 50 lande, Namibië ingesluit, wat lid is van die Oostelike en Suider-Afrika Teengeldwasserygroep (ESAAMLG). 'n Totaal van 22 uit 45 lande het aangedui dat hulle hulself as 'n bron van wildmisdaad ag – 18 as deurgangslande en 14 as bestemmingslande.

In its first report on wildlife crime, the Financial Action Task Force describes it as an international threat linked to organized crime such as slavery, drug and arms smuggling. According to the report, there is a lack of focus on the financial aspect of wildlife crime and suggests that all governments should implement money laundering laws. The study's findings are based on the input of 50 countries, including Namibia, which is a member of the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG). A total of 22 out of 45 countries indicated that they considered themselves a source of wildlife crime - 18 as transit
countries and 14 as destination countries.
