The Wikileaks of Poaching Animals

In 2013, over 1,000 rhinos were poached in South Africa and in 2014 there have already been over 80 killed. In 2011, the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) declared the Western Black Rhino extinct. The main cause? Poaching. Each of the five remaining rhino species are considered threatened, and three are endangered.

Using the same model as now infamous Wikileaks, WildLeaks allows users to place anonymous tips about illegal wildlife activity and also contains information about wildlife crime worldwide.

The main goal of the website is to promote an informed public so that real change can be made. WildLeaks provides an avenue where people can share pertinent information about poachers and wildlife traffickers without going directly to law enforcement officials. If the public sees something or knows something, they can call it out—and help to end wildlife crime.

A non-profit project by the California-based Elephant Action League in conjunction with an array of environmental investigative groups, WildLeaks seeks anonymous tips on wildlife and forest crimes in hopes of arresting and prosecuting criminal traffickers, businessmen and government officials.
