We know that keeping on top of environmental news around the planet can be tricky. Information can often be complex and we don’t always have the time to sit down and read about it. This is why we launched our “What on Earth?” podcast – to help our supporters keep abreast of the crucial issues. To hear from the campaigners on the frontline and find out what’s really happening, please subscribe to our podcast on Podbean, Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

We investigate and campaign against environmental crime and abuse
About us
Environmental Investigation Agency UK is a UK charity, number 1182208. 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 to eliminate powerful refrigerant greenhouse gases, exposing related illicit trade and improving energy efficiency in the cooling sector.

https://loom.ly/1m2F6zM Vinci Airports has launched a campaign to combat wildlife trafficking in Amazonian airports. The campaign, in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society, aims to improve the airports' capacity to detect and prevent such cases. This includes assessing their current capabilities, collecting images from baggage scanners, reinforcing inspections, and training employees. The campaign also seeks to raise passenger awareness of the dangers and damage caused by wildlife trafficking. The campaign is part of Vinci Airports' commitment to the Buckingham Declaration and its participation in the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce.

In the countdown to EIA’s 40th anniversary later this year, we are sharing films and stories from our archive. Today we are sharing the video that accompanied the revealing Borderlines report. Watch the Borderlines video here: https://loom.ly/VmLWbyE In March 2008, the Environmental Investigation Agency and Indonesian NGO Telapak published the major investigative report Borderlines. Borderlines exposed how the rapid growth of Vietnam’s wood processing industry threatened some of the last intact forests in the Mekong region, especially those in neighbouring Laos. It is not just Vietnam which was exploiting its neighbour; traders from Thailand and Singapore were also cashing in. As virtually all of the furniture made in Vietnam is exported, the ultimate responsibility for these forest crimes lies with the major consumer markets such as the EU and US. EIA continues to investigate and expose environmental and wildlife crime until this day.

https://loom.ly/USrHnmQ Microplastics have been found in various human organs, including the brain, raising concerns about their potential health risks. Studies show that these tiny plastic particles can accumulate in the body and may be linked to conditions like oxidative stress, cardiovascular disease, and fertility issues. Researchers are calling for urgent action to address plastic pollution and its impact on human health. While the full extent of the health hazards is still being studied, the growing evidence suggests a need for stricter regulations and global efforts to reduce plastic production and consumption.

Whales are still in need of our protection The whaling industry killed 2.9 million whales in the 20th century. In 1982, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) agreed a moratorium on commercial whaling to come onto force from 1986, a momentous decision that undoubtedly saved several species from extinction. EIA's Ocean campaign works to keep the ban in place and challenge countries that defy it, to expose the exploitation of species the ban does not cover, and to drive action to address other threats to whales, dolphins and porpoises such as climate change, pollution and by-catch. We campaign to maintain and strengthen the moratorium on commercial whaling and broaden action within the IWC to address the severe threats to cetaceans and marine ecosystems posed by human activities. We promote the positive benefits of supporting the organisation’s conservation work to governments around the world, working with local partners to challenge support for whaling within the IWC. We are challenging Japan’s ‘pirate whaling’ through coordinating international opposition and weakening the market for cetacean products through deploying market-based strategies. Working collaboratively with NGO partners, we are calling on Iceland to end its commercial whaling operations, pushing the government to review its policy and challenging sea food supply chains with links to the whaling industry.

https://loom.ly/Krjb-rQ Google has made a decision to stop using plastic packaging for its products. Google’s decision is important because it can encourage other companies to follow suit. Ultimately, reducing the use of plastic packaging is necessary to protect the environment. See our work on plastics here: https://loom.ly/qEvXm90

Environmental Investigation Agency reposted this
In a significant reversal, the Biden administration announced during two closed-door meetings last week that U.S. negotiators will support limits on plastic production. As Joseph Winters writes, this could prove a highly influential move as the world tries to hammer out the details of a global plastics treaty spearheaded by the United Nations. "This couldn’t have come at a better time," said Christina Dixon, ocean campaign leader for the nonprofit Environmental Investigation Agency. Plastic industry groups reacted less favourably. #plastic #plasticstreaty UN Environment Programme

https://loom.ly/-bi8NqM Our forest team has been at the forefront of exposing the illegal logging and export of Myanmar teak, and this story backs up angles we've investigated. A Singapore company that profited from Myanmar teak exports under the junta. It discusses how a Singapore-based agribusiness firm was allegedly involved in trading “conflict timber” harvested by a military-owned enterprise in Myanmar. The article also discusses how Olam, a global commodities giant, has exported more than a thousand tonnes of teak from Myanmar since the junta seized power. Even though the company announced it would be leaving Myanmar after the coup, it continued to export teak. See one of our reports here: https://loom.ly/pzBuE9M #teak #forests #illegallogging
