Por qué asistir

Es crucial entender cómo la convergencia del crimen ambiental con otras formas de crimen organizado transnacional representa una amenaza creciente y urgente para los esfuerzos de conservación a nivel mundial.

Descripción de la sesión

The increasing convergence of environmental crime with other forms of transnational organized crime presents a growing and urgent threat to global conservation efforts. The illicit exploitation of natural resources—ranging from wildlife trafficking and illegal fishing to deforestation and unregulated mining—is no longer isolated but deeply intertwined with broader criminal networks engaged in money laundering, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and corruption. As Earth League International (ELI) has documented through extensive field investigations and intelligence gathering, these interconnected criminal economies undermine governance, fuel violence, and destabilize communities, exacerbating the environmental crisis and weakening enforcement efforts.
