WHAT’S CHANGED SINCE THE MODULE’S LAUNCH?
Wildlife crime and other environmental crimes are now receiving more attention in
national agendas and during Financial Action Task Force (FATF) mutual evaluations.
These crimes are being integrated into national anti-money laundering (AML) and
counter-terrorism financing (CFT) strategies, especially within the financial sector.
Countries are applying the knowledge across sectors — for example, Mozambique
involved its conservation agency in AML/CFT training, helping efforts to get off of the
FATF grey list.
More Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) related to environmental crimes are being
filed to government authorities.
Key government officials are becoming more aware of the financial and security risks
linked to environmental crimes.
