Combatting Wildlife and Environmental Crime

The pervasive impact of wildlife and environmental crime seriously endangers Australia鈥檚 unique landscapes, seascapes and biodiversity, exposing us to potentially disastrous biosecurity risks, and threatening our livelihoods and wellbeing. We are developing the next generation of high-tech resources, informing regulatory and legal frameworks, and translating knowledge and educational tools to enhance Australia鈥檚 biosecurity reputation and generate a highly exportable wildlife, fisheries and timber crime-tech research industry.
