More than five years of investigative work paid off in September when Asian illegal wildlife trade kingpin Teo Boon Ching was jailed for 18 months by a New York court. The full scope of his criminal activities was exposed in 2018 by EIA UK, which supplied a substantial amount of intelligence on his modus operandi and activities to US enforcement agents. He was arrested following a covert sting operation in which he conspired to traffic at least 219kg of rhinoceros horns worth more than $2.1m.
With climate change driving flooding, heatwaves and other extreme weather events, our Climate team has launched a new campaign to secure a global Fossil Fuel Treaty with the aim of ending new fossil fuel production and to phase out existing production.
September was a busy month for our ‘What on Earth?’ podcast, with three new episodes recorded - check them out now to hear our expert campaigners discussing Icelandic whaling, World Rhino Day and why World Heritage Sites are vital for conservation...
