Activities in Other Countries:
Activities are global
Established in the UK in 1984. this organisation aims to investigate, raise awareness of and campaign against the illegal trade in wildlife (endangered species) and the destruction of the natural environment, and to gain lasting protection for species under threat. EIA now has a second office in the US, established in the 1990s, to carry out lobbying campaigns.
EIA has pioneered the use of undercover investigations that blend high-risk field work collecting powerful graphic evidence with in-depth and persuasive research. The results are channeled into advocacy campaigns targeted at governments worldwide. The organisation also espouses an empowerment and skill-sharing ethic, building networks that support grass-root activism in the fight against environmental abuse.
Although it mainly works on trans-boundary issues, EIA also has specific activities in China. These include dialogue with the CITES (convention on international trade in endangered species) office providing intelligence on the illegal trade in wildlife; provision of a Mandarin-language training resource for customs officials to assist in curbing the smuggling of ivory, and information exchange with Chinese NGOs. A photography training project is also in the planning stage.
EIA’s funding comes exclusively from private donations.
