Organized Crime Groups Pushing Environmental Security to Tipping Point
INTERPOL warns that organized crime groups are exploiting environmental resources at an unprecedented scale, pushing global environmental security to a critical tipping point.
The report highlights how criminal networks are increasingly involved in illegal logging, wildlife trafficking, illegal mining, and waste trafficking. These environmental crimes generate billions of dollars annually while causing irreversible damage to ecosystems.
INTERPOL calls for enhanced international cooperation and stronger enforcement measures to combat these transnational criminal enterprises.
