Abstract

Organized crime is a noted facilitator of drugs, weapons, and human trafficking. Overlooked, however, is the involvement of these criminal enterprises regarding flora (i.e., plants) and fauna (i.e., animals) crimes. For example, the trafficking of wildlife and wildlife parts globally. The need to better understand the impact these criminal units is espoused by multiple stakeholders. Subsequently, this chapter will discuss the impact organized crime has on wildlife and the environment through an international lens.
