We collect and evaluate confidential information and tips related to environmental and wildlife crime, and the link to other serious cries such as human trafficking, money laundering and corruption. Whenever possible, we transform these insights into actionable intelligence to support law enforcement efforts, or share with other key stakeholders, including media partners.
A team of highly experienced professionals, former law enforcement officers, and subject-matter experts carefully assesses all documents and tips provided to us. Each piece of information is rigorously evaluated and validated to ensure accuracy and reliability. To process intelligence effectively, ELI employs sophisticated analysis methodologies and leverages a vast network of contacts to determine the best course of action.
We are also deeply committed to protecting those who choose to share information with us. Beyond providing secure communication tools, we ensure that all information is handled responsibly and ethically to safeguard sources.
You have two options to send us information securely (encrypted) and anonymously:
WildLeaks
Managed entirely by ELI, WildLeaks is the world’s first whistleblowing initiative dedicated to Environmental and Wildlife Crime, and Crime Convergence. It is by far the simplest and most secure way to send us information and files—both anonymously and safely.
We have implemented a highly secure online platform built on Tor technology, ensuring that sources remain anonymous and can submit sensitive information with end-to-end encryption. This guarantees the secure transmission and management of data, protecting whistleblowers at every step.
Protonmail
Set up an anonymous encrypted email service
The best and most secure option is ProtonMail
You can then send us an email to: wildleaks@protonmail.ch
