Our People
A small but diverse and dedicated team of professionals tackling transnational, organised wildlife crime
Our WJC community is made up of teams of investigators, analysts, diplomats, lawyers, communicators and administrators, committed to our core objective of disrupting and helping dismantle transnational, organised wildlife crime.
We are a young organisation – only formed in 2015 – but we have decades of experience to bring to our work.
At the core of who we are and what we do is our investigations and intelligence teams. The nature of their work is behind the scenes and confidential, but their expertise in conducting complex investigations across national borders and the vital intelligence they gather, enables us to bring the wildlife criminals out of the shadows. Read more about their work here.
Our small team represents over fifteen different countries and cultures and we are very proud of our diversity.
