Resources

One of the most important missions of the Nature Crime Alliance is to improve coherence and enhance intelligence and information sharing between stakeholders. Over the last year the Alliance Secretariat has been working on enhancing its dot-connecting capabilities by developing and scoping a range of specialised tools designed to streamline collaboration and information sharing among stakeholders involved in combating wildlife crime. These resources were conceptualised together with members to address specific needs outlined during consultations with different actors within the community, and would be part of the services the Alliance offers to its members.
Knowledge building
Our resources build knowledge by streamlining access to the diverse range of existing technologies and research to empower interested stakeholders

Knowledge Library
The Nature Crime Alliance’s curated library aggregates and organises relevant literature, research papers, and actionable case studies, providing a rich repository of knowledge that is easily accessible. The library currently indexes over 200 entries, organised by crime types and strategic priorities, and features more than 80 additional labels that can be assigned to papers to facilitate targeted literature searches. The library will continue to be regularly updated, incorporating the latest reports produced by our Members and other active partners in the field.


Index of Tools
The Index of Tools offers a well-organised catalogue of the latest digital technologies, tools and datasets existing in the field. It currently lists over 80 monitoring and tracking tools, indices, dashboards and platforms. We hope the index will highlight existing technological gaps and increase collaboration in tool development, while also serving as a resource for researchers and professionals in the field.


Wildlife Expert Directory
Law enforcement agencies often require specialised knowledge that goes beyond their immediate expertise, especially when dealing with wildlife crime involving rare or endangered species. The Wildlife Expert Directory was developed in close collaboration with key partners from law enforcement, providing access to biologists, ecologists, and other species experts who can offer critical insights necessary for identification, handling, and understanding the ecological impacts of crimes against wildlife. These experts can assist in forensic analysis, provide testimony in legal proceedings, and train officers in species-specific knowledge that enhances the effectiveness of law enforcement actions.
