Wildleaks: the new platform of complaints against illegal hunting
The environmental and biodiversity-related projects already have a global platform of denunciation, the Wildleaks â€" a kind of Wikileaks for wildlife. The project was developed by a group of conservationists and pick the anonymous complaints to try to stop the crimes.According to one of its founders, Andrea Crust, of 25 years, the links of poachers to the police and business elite turn out to protect them. Thus, the project focuses on the ivory dealer and not on who kills elephants and rhinoceroses.There are reports of tigers hunting in Northern Sumatra, especially monkeys smuggling chimpanzees â€" in Central Africa, illegal logging activities in Mexico, Russia and Malawi and illegal fishing off the coast of Alaska.According to Crust, and once checked the veracity of the information, the Wildleaks have three options: start an investigation with their own resources and partners; share the complaint with other groups or with law enforcement agencies.Still according to the Crust told Deutsche Welle, the great challenge of the project is to become known. With 25 years of experience in conservation projects and 15 years of risk management training, Andrea Costra is the right man to do the project grow.Foto: William Warby / Cretive Commons
