Climate Campaigner

About us

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. Finally, we reduce the impact of climate change by campaigning for rapid reductions
in emissions of all greenhouse gases, including methane and fluorinated gases such as HFCs,
through developing and enforcing ambitious policies at the UK, EU and international level
