Campaign Administrator

About EIA UK

We investigate and campaign against environmental crime and abuse.

Our undercover investigations expose transnational wildlife crime, with a focus on elephants,
pangolins and tigers, and forest crimes such as illegal logging and deforestation for cash
crops like palm oil. We work to safeguard global marine ecosystems by addressing the threats
posed by plastic pollution, bycatch and commercial exploitation of whales, dolphins and
porpoises.

Our climate programme seeks to keep global warming below 1.5°C through rapid, sustained
reductions of emissions of all major greenhouse gases. This will be achieved by developing,
implementing and enforcing ambitious regional, global and sectoral obligations to reduce
emissions of ozone depleting substances, F-gases, methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. We
advocate strong governance frameworks that ensure corporate accountability, sustainable
financing for developing countries and a just transition for all.
