Wildlife Crime Working Group 2nd WEN Meeting Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa September 29, 2016

Who is Sheldon (and why is he asking this)? Chair, INTERPOL WCWG Co-Chair, NAWEG Secretary Treasurer, Canadian Natural Resources Law Enforcement Chiefs (NEST) New Arctic WEN? (Former criminal intelligence analyst and officer.)

Compare:

More than protecting endangered species Food security Fuel security Loss of sustainable economic opportunities Increased trade barriers for law abiding persons Loss of tax revenue Money laundering Corruption and governance Political instability Environmental degradation Who is the victim of this crime? ... Everyone!

If Criminals CollaborateTransnationally, Why Not Law Enforcement Networks? INTERPOL Working Groups Global, Intercontinental Regional, Issue Specific (Wildlife) Enforcement Networks National Environmental Security Task Force (or equivalent) Internal We need to share, which means we need to work together at all levels simultaneously!

Who are we? 190 Member Countries Enforcement of international laws concerning wild flora and fauna (trees, animals, meat, small plants) Longtime links to academia and non-governmental organizations Experts and leaders from different law enforcement organizations in member countries (a lot of you!). We are meeting October 2 – 4 on the margins of the CITES CoP. Singapore Meeting, November 2015

What do we do? The field of wildlife law enforcement is changing. Last year, we discussed that the Working Group needed to take a step back and reorganize what it did and how it did it. INTERPOL’s Environmental Security Sub Directorate, or ENS for short, has grown significantly in the last five years. We needed to review how the Working group contributes to INTERPOL. Over the last year, we developed a new set of roles for the Working Group that I would like to share with you. This was based on input received at the Nairobi meeting along with consultation inside INTERPOL and other ICCWC partners. There are four roles that the working group is undertaking:

Examples since 2014… Shatoosh (Project Ring) Linking with INTERPOL core projects (Project Log) Supporting Country Efforts (Chile Crime Scene Manual) Annual collection of data to feed strategic intelligence development. Feedback, recommender and subject matter experts to all the ICCWC partners (INTERPOL, CITES, UNODC, WCO, WB) And others that are not ready to be announced yet environmentalcrime@interpol.int Wildlifecrimeworkinggroup@interpol.int
