Detect IT Fish
Web-based tool that looks at data tracking the movement of fish from port to port and country to country. The tool highlights any trade information that looks suspicious and possibly illegal. Through rapid, automated collection, it compares, and analyzes United Nations trade data from more than 170 countries. A user can search trade data by time, product, and partner countries. The tool is either no longer maintained or not available for use.
The Global Fishing Watch Map
The Global Fishing Watch map is the first open-access online tool for visualization and analysis of vessel-based human activity at sea. Anyone with an internet connection can access the map to monitor global fishing activity from 2012 to the present for more than 65,000 commercial fishing vessels that are responsible for a significant part of global seafood catch.
The Global Forest Watch Map
An open-source web application to monitor global forests in near real-time. GFW is an initiative of the World Resources Institute, with partners including Google, USAID, the University of Maryland, Esri, Vizzuality and many other academic, non-profit, public, and private organizations.
Organized Crime Idex
First global analytical tool to provide an assessment of criminal markets, categories of criminal actors, and resilience capacity for 193 UN member states.
Ivory ID
Utilises stable isotope methods validated by researchers from WWF Germany and works with partners from the University of Regensburg who analyse radioactive isotopes to determine the age of ivory. Its website includes a free and readily accessible reference database of over 700 samples of ivory from African and Asian elephant range states, and was handed over to the international CITES community at COP 17 in 2016.
Nature Intelligence System
A machine learning-based dashboard that captures shipping invoices (electronic or paper) and conducts analytics on cargo shipment data (ex. price, weight, country of origin, taxonomic identity) for inspectors to easily identify questionable shipments. It is being tested with Canadian government agencies. It was designed to automatically analyse shipment paperwork and identify questionable shipments. Once anomalies have been identified and shipments are being inspected, officers will be supported in their decision making with an integrated species identification application.
