In 2025, ICCWC supported 140 countries in strengthening their responses to wildlife and forest crime through capacity-building, technical assistance, operational support and international cooperation. Countries made progress in using ICCWC tools and services, enhancing multi-agency collaboration and turning strategic commitments into concrete enforcement action. Through the combined expertise of its five partner organizations, @CITES, @INTERPOL_EC, @UNODC_ENV, the @WBG_ClimateEnv and the @WCO_OMD, ICCWC is helping strengthen criminal justice systems and build a more coordinated 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 Hamburg Sustainability 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. 🤝 ➡️ 🔗 bit.ly/3QQqwiT
