WE PARTNER WITH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES,

THE PRIVATE SECTOR, ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS, MEDIA AND OTHER NGOS

ELI collaborates with government agencies and like-minded organizations who are dedicated to eradicating environmental/wildlife crime and dismantling the global criminal networks behind the criminal exploitation of Earth.

Government Agencies and Inter-Governmental Organizations

We’ve been collaborating with government agencies both in the U.S. and abroad for over a decade, providing confidential information and various intelligence products to support their investigations into environmental and wildlife crime, as well as other related serious crimes, both domestically and internationally.

In the U.S., we routinely collaborate and share information with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and other federal government agencies. These collaborations have led to important arrests in the U.S.

Outside the United States, we have been collaborating and sharing information with trusted public prosecutors and authorities in Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, The Netherlands, Thailand, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, among others. Most of these collaborations led to new investigations and significant arrests. We also share information with inter-governmental organizations such as UNODC and CITES.

Private Sector

Outside of government, ELI also collaborates with the private sector, including consulting firms, research centers, think tanks, and policy-focused organizations. By providing real-world data and case studies, researchers and policy experts can analyze trends, develop new strategies, and make data-driven recommendations for more effective action. Moreover, the crime convergence perspective we offer can be invaluable to the private sector for understanding the nexus between business, environmental crime, other illicit activities, and national security.

Academic Institutions

Collaborating with leading academic institutions in the US and around the world is very important for Earth League International. This partnership empowers us to access cutting-edge research, leverage expert insights, and foster innovation, enabling more effective strategies and solutions in our ongoing fight against environmental crime and the preservation of our planet’s precious resources.

We collaborate with the Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, and the TraCCC research center within the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University in D.C., among others.

Partnerships and Alliances 

ELI is a member of IUCN North America, the Nature Crime Alliance and the International Coalition Against Illicit Economies (ICAIE).

We also collaborate with United for Wildlife and the Earthshot Prize.
