Our Mission

The Wildlife Justice Commission disrupts and dismantles the organized criminal networks driving illegal trade in wildlife, fish and timber.

Who We Are

The Wildlife Justice Commission (WJC) was founded in 2015 to end the dire threat that trafficking posed to endangered wildlife, fish and timber. Today, the WJC protects vulnerable species by taking out criminal networks from the top down. We focus on those who profit the most from wildlife trafficking, high-level traffickers, rather than low-level poachers. We disrupt and dismantle the criminal networks that buy, ship, and sell wildlife products, including ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales, live tiger cubs, tortoises, and primates for the illegal pet trade, as well as endangered timber products and vulnerable marine species like sharks. By taking down both ends of the supply chain, we are ending the high-volume demand that puts species at risk. We bring the strength of 400 years of combined law enforcement, legal, and intelligence experience to the table. We use this strength to change the dynamic of wildlife crime, increasing the risk and lowering the reward for the criminals, making it a nonviable enterprise. #Saving species from extinction. The Wildlife Justice Commission’s US entity is called the Friends of Wildlife Justice Commission (FoWJC). It is a 501.3.(c) registered charity established in 2017.
