Earth League International (Eli)

Earth League International (ELI) is an innovative non-governmental organization that fights environmental/wildlife crime by merging the worlds of conservation, intelligence, investigation, research, and analysis. As pioneers in the use of professional intelligence applied to environmental crime and crime convergence, for over a decade, Earth League International (ELI) has been at the forefront of utilizing professional intelligence to combat environmental organized crime. With a proven history of success, ELI identifies and investigates the most important environmental criminals and transnational wildlife trafficking networks globally, including their links to Transnational Organized Crime and to other serious crimes, such as human smuggling, money laundering, drug trafficking, and corruption.

We collaborate with various law enforcement and government agencies, sharing Confidential Intelligence Briefs (CIBs) that contain detailed first-hand information collected by us in the field, about transnational trafficking networks, including their key members, modus operandi, smuggling routes, financial information, etc. We collaborate and share information with other key stakeholders, including policymakers, academic institutions, media, and the private sector.
