“We know that China is one of the primary end-use countries for rhino horn,” says our Senior Wildlife Policy Analyst Taylor Tench, but information on how smugglers operate and China’s criminal justice response has been limited - until our recent report analyzed an unlikely source.

Happy #EarthDay What does the environment mean to you? Some future environmental defenders shared their favorite things about nature - and why we need to protect our planet 🌿

Last year, our groundbreaking investigation with Earthworks exposed uncontrolled methane emissions across Colombia. Today, new evidence suggests that the country's oil and gas infrastructure is still leaking.

Hier, nos partenaires RENOI et Premi Congo ont organisé une conférence de presse à Kinshasa afin de presenter les conclusions de notre enquête sur une grave crise sanitaire près de la mine de Tenke Fungurume. Lire le rapport ici: https://eia.org/report/transition-toxique/

Our recent investigation with PremiCongo presents evidence that the world’s largest cobalt producer has contributed to a public health catastrophe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and connects that mine with some of the world’s biggest electric vehicle manufacturers.

This #SaveTheElephantDay, we're raising awareness about some of the biggest threats facing the largest land animals on Earth. All of these problems need to be solved, but our campaign’s main focus is to eliminate the root cause of the elephant poaching crisis: commercial trade in ivory.

For the past few days, Congolese coalition Notre Terre Sans Pétrole has been supporting a peaceful nationwide mobilization to draw attention to the environmental and social impacts of oil exploitation on communities across the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It's been almost a month since we and PremiCongo released our investigation into one of the world's largest copper and cobalt mines, but this #WorldHealthDay, nearby communities are still at risk of exposure to sulfur dioxide - a toxic gas produced by copper-cobalt ore processing

In an important step forward, the government of DRC has announced a government-led inspection of the Tenke Fungurume Mine, following our investigation with PremiCongo into allegations that the world's largest cobalt producer is causing a health crisis in the nearby community.

Nos hemos unido a organizaciones de la sociedad civil de todo el mundo para pedir a la Comisión Europea que se resista a las presiones del sector y mantenga el cuero en el Reglamento de la UE sobre la deforestación Leia mais em: https://ow.ly/UBEv50YBOJl

🚨Industry has been lobbying to remove leather from the EUDR. This would scrap requirements for hides to be deforestation-free, so leather linked to deforestation could continue to enter the EU. We’ve shown that this leather has been linked to forest loss in Brazil & Paraguay 👇 bit.ly/4sLS4Ui

EIA and 26 other civil society groups from around the world, including Brazil’s largest Indigenous network, sent an open letter to the European Commission urging it to resist industry pressure and maintain the integrity of the EUDR by keeping leather in the law’s scope.

“Hopefully the prosecution will proceed smoothly while avoiding the frustrating delays that have plagued previous prosecutions of high-level actors engaged in illegal wildlife trade in South Africa," says our senior wildlife policy analyst Taylor Tench. www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026...

China has long been a main destination for smuggled rhino horn. Our new report examines Chinese court judgements to better understand the dynamics of this illegal trade, including how wildlife trafficking networks move rhino horn into and across China - and how the criminal justice system responds.

From million-dollar penalties to global crackdowns, enforcement reveals the scale and complexity of the illegal refrigerant trade, and the importance of cross-border cooperation.

Plusieurs organisations de la société civile soutiennent les conclusions de notre nouvelle enquête qui confirme les alertes lancées de longue date concernant la pollution, le manque de contrôle et l’opacité du secteur minier en RDC. www.resourcematters.org/post/les-org...

La nouvelle enquête d’EIA avec PremiCongo établit un lien présumé entre la catastrophe sanitaire qui touche les communautés situées près de la mine de Tenke Fungurume en RDC, l'une des plus grandes mines de cobalt au monde, et certains des plus grands constructeurs mondiaux de véhicules électriques.

Our new investigation with PremiCongo connects an alleged public health catastrophe near the Tenke Fungurume mine, one of the largest cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and some of the world’s biggest electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers.

On estime à 12 000 le nombre de personnes qui ont perdu leur maison pour laisser place à l’expansion de l'une des plus grandes mines de cobalt au monde. Ceux qui restent autour de la mine seraient exposés à des pollutions atmosphériques causant et des maladies graves.

An estimated 12,000 people have lost their homes to make way for one of the world's largest cobalt mines and copper-cobalt processing facilities. Those that remain are at risk from severe illnesses consistent with acidic air pollution allegedly emitted by the industrial activity.

Malgré la crainte de représailles, les habitants de la ville de Fungurume ont courageusement choisi de partager leurs témoignages avec EIA et PremiCongo lors de notre enquête sur la mine Tenke Fungurume et l'usine de traitement du cuivre et du cobalt « 30k » en RDC.

Despite fears of retaliation, the people of the town of Fungurume bravely chose to share their stories with EIA US and PremiCongo during our investigation into the Tenke Fungurume mine and “30K” copper-cobalt processing facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
