The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (CFDA 19.705 - Trans-National Crime) awarded a $1,784,016.84 Project Grant to the Environmental Investigation Agency UK on October 1, 2024. This grant will continue the organization's efforts to build awareness, provide mentorship, and strengthen cooperation between prosecutors to help ensure wildlife trafficking is treated as a serious crime in Nigeria. The project aims to build on the existing Endangered Species Conservation and Protection Bill by supporting comprehensive strategies to combat transnational environmental crimes and protect endangered species. As an international non-governmental organization with expertise in environmental conservation and wildlife protection, the Environmental Investigation Agency UK will leverage this funding to deliver research, policy analysis, and strategic interventions to federal agencies addressing international wildlife trafficking challenges.
