The WJC undertakes undercover, intelligence-driven investigations, with a goal of presenting verifiable, first-hand evidence of wildlife crimes to national governments and law enforcement agencies for action. It identifies high-level trafficking suspects through intelligence analysis and share intelligence with governments, to enable more effective enforcement against wildlife trafficking.
