OUR MISSION
Making The World Safer For Wildlife
This National Geographic Article and interview with Freeland founder Steve Galster highlights the urgency of the search for Bach "Boonchai" Mai, who was recently sentenced to five years in prison by the Thai Supreme Court. Boonchai has long played a role in trafficking ivory, rhino horns, pangolin scales, tigers, and more.
Freeland launched the investigation into this Thai poaching kingpin years ago. Now, the manhunt begins. Please contact us with any tip-offs on his whereabouts, and if you'd like to help support this work, donate here:
Freeland's global training tour Helps task forces worldwide take on organized wildlife crime
Our global economy, security, and whole societies, are threatened by organized crime networks. These networks run trafficking operations that harm people and ecosystems, weaken governance, and strengthen corruption. Human and wildlife trafficking alone amount to $175 billion a year.
Freeland's Counter-Transnational Organized Crime (CTOC) program convenes law enforcers across agencies and borders and empowers them through case-based training to dismantle these criminal networks.
