 Environmental crime is now an international phenomena, one that is generating between 70 and 213 billion dollars annually for criminal networks. Tackling environmental crime, including illegal wildlife trade, is fundamental for us to be able to achieve the lofty, sustainable development goals, the aspirations that heads of states have agreed to. And being able to do that requires partnerships, partnerships of the frontline officers, partnerships of police and enforcement agencies, partnerships of the environmental community who have to come together and deal with this in a holistic manner. No one agent can deal with environmental crime in its entirety, but together UNEP, Interpol and our partners can begin to turn the lofty aspirations for reducing wildlife trade and environmental crime down to zero.
