About “End WIldlife Crime”

“End Wildlife Crime” is a global and international level foundation dedicated to stopping illegal wildlife trade and protecting biodiversity. They work at the highest government level on various areas within the EU, other supranational organizations and legal systems. The organization fights against the exploitation and trafficking of animals and plants. They push for stronger national and international laws, stricter regulations, and harsher penalties for those involved in illegal trade.

The initiative raises public awareness about the harm caused by wildlife crime to biodiversity, human health, and global security. They educate the public and stakeholders about wildlife conservation and its legal aspects. Additionally, they work with local communities to create sustainable jobs, reducing reliance on illegal wildlife trade and empowering them to join conservation efforts.
