Following the Money from Nature Crimes

​Come, join and be a part of this dynamic and inter-disciplinary alliance on July 3rd at UTC 14:00 with Amanda Gore (C4GA).

​In this month’s EarthTeam Townhall virtual gathering, our spotlight speaker Amanda will talk about the work led by C4GA focusing on the financial crime elements of various environmental crimes -

• ​Tracing funds between Africa and Asia for wildlife crime syndicates

• ​Mapping complex corporate structures involved in deforestation 

• ​The links between illegal mining and money laundering 

​She will also give an overview of her recent project to train journalists in East Africa to follow the money linked to wildlife crimes.

​Amanda specialises in supporting litigation and multi-jurisdictional financial investigations with an emphasis on anti-corruption, money laundering, tax crimes and asset tracing. Over the last 9 years, Amanda has concentrated on applying financial crime tools to environmental crime offences primarily across Africa, Asia and Latin America in the banking sector, for the UN and now for her own company C4GA. She has trained law enforcement on the financial elements of wildlife crime globally with a targeted focus on Africa and parts of Asia. 

​Amanda also teaches two graduate courses at the University of New Haven - Wildlife Crime Investigations,  Environmental Crime Investigations and Illicit Trade and is a research fellow at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She is a fellow of  Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand and on the panel of experts for the WCO.
