The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) investigates and campaigns against environmental crime and abuses. Its 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 such as palm oil; EIA works to safeguard global marine ecosystems by tackling plastic pollution, exposing illegal fishing and seeking an end to all whaling; and it addresses the threat of global warming by campaigning to curtail powerful refrigerant greenhouse gases and exposing related criminal trade.
