Strategic communications
Overview
Effective communications can raise awareness of nature crime and build the political will needed to fight it. From supporting journalism on environmental crime to driving closer cooperation among communicators working on this issue, this is a key strategic priority area for the Nature Crime Alliance.
Best Practices
Increasing coordination
From amplifying the successes of frontline defenders to supporting the development of environmental journalism, the Alliance is bringing together a range of actors to enhance communications work around nature crime.
The Alliance hosts a working group of communications professionals working on environmental crime and associated issues with the aim of building a ‘nature crime communications network’ that can support members’ efforts and improve coordination between different organisations.
In October 2025, the Alliance convened its first set of trainings for journalists and communications professionals focusing on environmental crime, held in partnership with our members UNICRI and the FACT Coalition.
