Our new report shines a light on this reckless gambit to open up global rhino horn trade, the prospective buyers, and the problematic exemption to CITES regulations that could make it possible: eia.org/report/sideste…

EIA has been closely following this legal battle to circumvent the global ban on rhino horn trade, from a shocking October 2025 ruling to a recent hearing on April 29th - the results of which could set a monumental and dangerous legal precedent.

In 2023, a South African game reserve owner sued the government in an effort to compel it to authorize the export of at least 502 rhino horns to prospective buyers in eight different international locations.

As the complex network of trafficking routes spanning Africa, Southeast Asia, and China evolve, international enforcement and cooperation must as well. For #SavetheRhinoDay, read the report to learn what the world can do to better protect rhinos: eia.org/report/routed-…

Our recent report analyzes an unlikely source of information about global wildlife trafficking networks: a database of Chinese criminal cases. The investigation provides a rare look into how illegal rhino horn moves through China - and how the criminal justice system responds.

Qu'est-ce que SEFYD ne veut pas que le monde voie ? Regardez la série de cinq reportages mettant en évidence des exportations de grumes en contradiction avec la législation nationale : information.tv5monde.com/afrique/video/…

Après que des employés d'une société d’exploitation forestière en République du Congo ont parlé à TV5 Monde des exportations illégales de grumes, des responsables de l'entreprise auraient menacé les lanceurs d'alerte.

Companies in the HVAC sector often play a role in illegal refrigerant trade, putting customers, technicians, and equipment at risk and creating unfair competition for legitimate businesses. Our new bulletin details this and other major enforcement cases: eia.org/blog/illegal-t…

In March 2025, the CEO of a Georgia-based HVAC company was charged for illegally importing 500 cylinders of climate-damaging HFCs from Peru without the required import allowances.

When we protect whales and other marine life, we protect ourselves. Learn how people in Cook Inlet are trying to rescue their belugas from the brink of extinction - and why government funding and policy are a crucial part of that effort: savecookinletbelugas.org

NOAA initiatives are key for our Alaskan partners working to save the critically endangered Cook Inlet beluga - an iconic population of whales that also serve as important indicators for the health of the Basin that so many people rely upon.

This #MarineMammalRescueDay, we're shining a light on one of the biggest threats to marine life that you may never have considered before: policy shifts that cut funding for critical programs and research meant to protect our ocean. youtu.be/tQjKZMA6GWc?si…

“We know that China is one of the primary end-use countries for rhino horn,” says our Senior Wildlife Policy Analyst Taylor Tench, but information on how smugglers operate & China’s criminal justice response has been limited - until our recent report analyzed an unlikely source.

Happy #EarthDay! What does the environment mean to you? Some future environmental defenders shared their favorite things about nature - and why we need to protect our planet 🌿

This week, we're joining the Colombia Free of Fracking Alliance, Corporación Compromiso, CRY-GEAM, and Earthworks in some of the most affected communities to demand accountability from the government and state-owned oil company Ecopetrol: eia.org/press-releases…

Earthworks recently captured more evidence of methane venting at multiple sites that we previously investigated. In this video, a steady stream of hydrocarbon plumes were observed spreading towards nearby homes and a main road: youtube.com/watch?v=PmN-MM…

Last year, our groundbreaking investigation with @Earthworks exposed uncontrolled methane emissions across Colombia. Today, new evidence suggests that the country's oil and gas infrastructure is still leaking.
