#WildlifeCrime is multifaceted and often organized and transnational in #nature - yet it is frequently treated as a minor offense, if prosecuted at all. A new protocol under the #UNTOC could help elevate #WildlifeCrime to the same level as drug or arms trafficking. Furthermore, it would make it possible to close legal loopholes and finally establish the theft of nationally protected species as a criminal offense in destination countries as well

Koala dies after allegedly being dragged behind vehicle down a street
"A rope was tied around the animal's neck and the other end was looped around a vehicle's tow ball, before the animal was dragged along the road."
"There was blood and fur along the road where it got dragged. It was gurgling blood and had deep abrasions over a lot of its body."
"Volunteer vets were forced to euthanise the animal after it suffered injuries, including deep abrasions and a fractured jaw."

DYFED-POWYS: Police boost patrols to crackdown on rural crime
The force, covering the largest rural police area in England and Wales, aims to increase officer visibility and engagement, seeking to disrupt criminal activity.
This new approach will see rural crime officers boosting patrols and building stronger relationships with local communities, according to the police.
They will also be offering more crime prevention visits and engaging with residents at local events, building on previous rural crime team patrols designed to protect vulnerable areas.
Inspector Matthew Howells of Dyfed-Powys Police highlighted the issue of under-reported rural crime.
“Rural crime can often go unreported. We want to have a stronger presence, and expand both Farm and Rural Watch, to increase reporting,” Inspector Howells stated.
He added that this increased reporting would provide crucial data to shape patrols and disrupt criminal activity.
Officers will also be promoting property marking and security measures to help residents protect their assets and avoid becoming a victim of vehicle theft.
“We want to reduce repeat victimisation and disrupt criminal activity,” Inspector Howells confirmed.
In 2025, Dyfed-Powys Police recorded 49 reports of livestock theft, a significant concern for farmers.
There were also 42 reports of quad bike theft, a common target for rural criminals.
Heritage crimes, which harm historic sites through activities like illegal metal detecting or off-roading, accounted for 60 reports.
However, the most frequently reported crime was livestock worrying, with 60 incidents recorded throughout 2025.
Chief Constable Ifan Charles recently met with members of the farming community to discuss the new strategy.
He was joined by Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn and the rural crime team at a farm belonging to Anwen Hughes, regional vice-president of the Farmers’ Union of Wales.
The meeting also addressed updates to livestock worrying laws, a topic of great importance to the farming community.
Anwen Hughes shared her recent experience of losing three lambs due to a livestock attack, underscoring the devastating impact of such incidents.
Chief Constable Ifan Charles emphasised the profound effect these crimes have on rural communities.
“The impact these crimes have on rural communities can’t be underestimated. People’s livelihoods and homes are intertwined,” Chief Constable Charles said.
He stressed that the new strategy prioritises the needs of rural residents.
“The new strategy puts people in the rural communities at its heart,” he added.
Protecting vast rural areas presents unique challenges compared to urban environments, the Chief Constable noted.
“Our rural crime teams will work with people to understand the challenges and keep them safe,” Chief Constable Charles concluded.
Residents are being urged to report rural, wildlife, and heritage crime by calling 101 or using the online reporting tool on the Dyfed-Powys Police website.

Criminal psychologists are profiling a different kind of killer – environmental offenders
"I wanted to understand those who pose a threat to us on a much larger scale, at times even an existential level. Why do people choose to destroy the Earth and what can we do to stop them?"
"An environmental crime is when someone breaks a law related to destroying or contaminating our earth, air or water, or killing off biodiversity like trees and animals. These green crimes include acts like burning down a protected nature reserve, poaching an endangered species, or releasing toxic untreated water into rivers and lakes that makes people sick."
"A lot of large-scale environmental crime is committed by organised crime syndicates...Regulators make sure there are guardrails...We need to better acknowledge, and celebrate, the people who are holding environmental criminals accountable. "

Lotta alla criminalità organizzata e al degrado ambientale. L'azione dell'Interpol
I gruppi della criminalità organizzata prendono di mira specie protette, come rinoceronti, pangolini e pesci totoaba, per ottenere profitti elevati e bassi rischi.
La criminalità ambientale ha un impatto devastante sul clima, sulla biodiversità e sugli habitat locali, generando centinaia di miliardi di dollari all'anno.
L'unità di sicurezza ambientale dell'INTERPOL, parte della Direzione per la criminalità organizzata, lavora a stretto contatto con i paesi membri e i partner esterni per identificare, tracciare e smantellare queste reti.
Le specie protette, come i rinoceronti e i pesci totoaba, rischiano l'estinzione a causa dell'elevata domanda di prodotti da parte della criminalità organizzata. I criminali utilizzano tecniche sofisticate, come la falsificazione delle etichette di carico e delle dichiarazioni doganali, per contrabbandare merci come legname protetto e animali vivi. L'Operazione Thunder dell'INTERPOL, un'operazione annuale della durata di un mese, ha portato quest'anno al sequestro di migliaia di animali e all'arresto di centinaia di sospettati.
Si tratta di un'operazione su larga scala, condotta a livello globale per combattere il traffico di fauna selvatica e di prodotti forestali. Questa operazione ha coinvolto le forze dell'ordine di molti paesi che hanno collaborato per sequestrare e indagare su casi di traffico illegale di fauna selvatica e prodotti forestali. Il traffico illegale di fauna selvatica è il commercio illegale di animali, piante e loro parti. Include animali come grandi felini, uccelli e rettili, nonché piante e alberi. Il traffico illegale di fauna selvatica può danneggiare l'ambiente, causare l'estinzione di specie e persino alimentare conflitti e instabilità. Il traffico illegale di legname è il commercio illegale di legname e prodotti forestali. Può includere alberi, legname e altri prodotti forestali. Il traffico illegale di legname può danneggiare l'ambiente e contribuire al cambiamento climatico.
Durante l'operazione, le forze dell'ordine hanno collaborato per:
- Sequestrare fauna selvatica e prodotti forestali, inclusi animali vivi, piante e legname.
- Indagare su casi di traffico illegale di fauna selvatica e prodotti forestali, incluse attività online e profili di sospetti.
- Condividere informazioni e intelligence tra loro per costruire un quadro globale di intelligence sul traffico di fauna selvatica e legname.
- Arrestare e perseguire i presunti trafficanti.
L'operazione ha portato al sequestro di:- Oltre 2.200 sequestri di fauna selvatica e prodotti forestali in tutto il mondo
- Centinaia di migliaia di parti e derivati di animali protetti
- Migliaia di alberi e piante
- Armi da fuoco, veicoli e attrezzature per il bracconaggio
Raccolta di intelligence globaleLa portata transnazionale unica dell'INTERPOL e l'accesso al più grande database di polizia al mondo consentono all'organizzazione di guidare la lotta globale contro la criminalità organizzata contro la fauna selvatica. I suoi team specializzati condividono informazioni di intelligence e facilitano le indagini tra le forze di polizia nazionali, con conseguente pubblicazione di notifiche viola e rosse per informare i paesi membri su nuovi modus operandi o latitanti ricercati a livello internazionale.
Successo nell'applicazione della legge a livello globale
Una recente notifica rossa (red notice) emessa dall'INTERPOL ha portato all'arresto di una donna ucraina in Thailandia per aver contrabbandato 116 tartarughe protette dalla Tanzania. Dopo essere sfuggita alla cattura in Thailandia, la donna è stata fermata in Bulgaria e infine estradata in Tanzania. L'arresto della sospettata e il ritorno delle tartarughe nel loro paese d'origine dimostrano la portata globale dell'INTERPOL e la sua capacità di coordinare gli sforzi delle forze dell'ordine internazionali per combattere la criminalità transnazionale.
