Summary
Eco-crime presents a serious problem across the globe. In Italy, 35 million tons of garbage are trafficked each year by organized crime families. In some commercial fisheries, approximately 50 percent of the catch is brought to port illegally. Illicit trade in wildlife generates up to 25 billion annually, trailing only drug and arm trafficking in significance.
